Submitting Jobs from SDSF

A job can be submitted from a already completed or failed job from the SDSF SPOOL. This feature is useful for correcting errors, updating parameters, or modifying job configurations without resubmitting the entire job from scratch.

Why Submit Jobs from SDSF?

• To quickly test and execute JCL scripts directly from SDSF.
• To streamline the submission process without navigating back to the JCL source.
• To troubleshoot and resubmit jobs after making corrections.
