At the beginning, especially for a new MVS person, I find it easier to write my programs & JCL locally in Linux using the superior full screen editors (almost any!) available. Personally, I like to use the VS Code IDE. So I needed a way to submit these jobs to MVS, found 2 methods, #1 works everytime, #2 worked once...for me!
Job submission method #1 [1 step, specify file name on devinit]
After entering the following, the job will be submitted to MVS!
HHC01603I devinit 000C path/SORT.JCL [type on hercules console! Looks in tk4 base dir if no path givin]
Job submission method #2 [2 steps, uses Netcat in Linux, don’t specify file name on devinit]
Type locally in Linux!
