Hi,
In an interview I was asked that can we submit a job using a cobol program and using CICS and if yes, how do we do this?
For COBOL, we can run a job by using the utility INTRDR but I was not usre at all about invoking a JCL from CICS. Can anyone please help me on this?

It is possible (and many sites do this) to define a TD queue to point to the internal reader. If this is done, a CICS program can write JCL lines to the TD queue and the job will be submitted.
