True - and even more so, because JCL (Job Control Language) is not a programming language in the sense of C, ksh or similar: it is a specialised language to describe how jobs (=programs written in other languages) should be set up in their respective environment to be run on a mainframe running VM or some MVS-descendant (OS/390, z/OS, ....). It is (this is the closest approximation i can come up with) a mixture of an rc-file with a start/stop-script and some redirection along with a bit of cron-functionality.
