It has been observed that when we code steps like ICETOOL, or sort techniques steps if any typo errors or syntax erros are in toolin cards or control statements, the errors are thrown after the completion of job but not at the time of doing JEM or jobscan. why?

is there any way of identifying the errors before execution of jcl

Hello,

JEM, JCK, and others are jcl checkers.

Control statements for SORT, ICEMAN, ICETOOL, etc are not jcl. . .

Hopefully, proper testing will catch these errors before some production run is attempted. . . Not only do the control statements need to pass the syntax check, they also need to provide the correct output (which should also be verified by proper testing).
