When any program started by the EXEC JCL statement terminates it leaves a return code that can be used by JCL. If your Cobol program terminates with a return code, the return code should be available for use in JCL.

Look up return-code in the COBOL Language Reference manual.

Oh yeah? How? Has something new been added to JCL? Did you check in the JCL Language Reference manual?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
