Line 9:
WFL was a compiled language on the medium systems. Because some OS interfaces may change from release to release, Medium Systems WFL code included a copy of the source in the object file. Upon executing a WFL job it would check to determine if the object was compatible with the OS version. If not it would trigger a recompile of the object using the source embedded in the object code.
Note: WFL is really more like DCL from Digital Equipment Corporation. Comparing it to JCL is like comparing Java to Assembler.
