No.

Mainframe jobs generate COBOL code and JCL to get it compiled. These are uploaded to the mainframe where they are compiled and run. Whether any parallelism occurs is not under your control.

Parallel jobs generate code that can be executed as osh in the Parallel Extender environment on the UNIX machine. Parallelism is under your control both in the design and in the configuration file that you associated with the job.
