editWFL has a high-level ALGOL-like readable syntax. It has none of the low-level assembler-like commands of JCL like //SYSIN DD, etc in order to connect hardware devices and open files for programs. All WFL constructs deal with the high-level abstractions of tasks and files. Parameters are also real HLL parameters, not the $1, $2... style position parameters of shell scripts.
Above should be something like
Unlike IBM JCL or most modern shell scripting languages, WFL is a dialect of ALGOL for writing jobs as High Level Language programs with constructs supporting high-level abstractions of tasks and files. A quality that is difficult to convey is the elegance and consistency with which it fits in the overall MCP architecture.
