1.	Explain how you will check the syntax of JCL without running it.
Answer» JCL SYNTAX can be checked without running it by putting TYPERUN=SCAN on a job card or using JSCAN. The TYPRUN command is used to request special job PROCESSING, such as checking or scanning a job for syntax ERRORS. SCAN checks the syntax errors without actually executing the job. Otherwise, JSCAN can also check a JCL's syntax without running it.
