Hi,
As the subject line says it, can we compile a COBOL program without a JCL? If yes, how's that possible?

Re: Can we compile a COBOL program without a JCL?
Yes. If your site is set up for it, TSO / ISPF supports a compile option (usually 4) for Foreground compile. You can also directly call the COBOL compile with a TSO command -- but that requires being knowledgeable enough to allocate the compiler data sets in TSO. Or you can go into Unix System Services (OMVS) and use the command-line compiler there.

Re: Can we compile a COBOL program without a JCL?
remember, anyway, that running compilations under TSO is frowned upon/FORBIDDEN in most organisations
so even just playing with it might get You into trouble.
( quite often even the relative ISPF panel/choice is removed from the available options )

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort
