In DataStage terminology the "Job Controller" is the name of the DS job which calls another. Usually this information isn't of too much significance. The JOBCONTROL.H file can be found using the UNIX command "find . -name JOBCONTROL.H" when you attach to your project directory, it is in the dsinclude subdirectory but you need to use the uppercase name when you include this file from DataStage programs.

The JOBCONTROL.H is a header file which contains the definitions of mnemonics and functions & routines used in DataStage BASIC programs. It has nothing really to do with a "Job Controller ".

None of this information is of interest for normal DS job design, unless you wish to write your own code or use built-in functions.
