Are we supposed to know what a "qtp script" is? JCL is simple. It's a few keywords and statements: A JOB to identify the job, a STEP to identify what program or procedure to run, and possibly some DD statements to identify input and output. Some optional return-code error checks. That's pretty much it.

I did not used this tool before, but here is what i know about this tool.

QTP is a testing tool like Winrunner & TestPartner.
QTP support mainframe applications with configuration of TE add-in.

QTP supports the following emulators
Attachmate, RUMBA, Hummingbird, seagull. With these emulator QTP
Works better.


First you need to install QTP software and configure TE add-in to make your script work on mainframe.

Quick Test Professional (QTP) is an automated functional Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing tool that allows the automation of user actions on a web or client based computer application.

You can possibly do that, what you've asked for BUT - I've never done it. Please have a look in QTP Manuals.
