What do you mean by 'mainframe file' ? Sequential dataset ? VSAM ?

Can't you just FTP the file from PC to your mainframe?

You don't need JCL. There are many ways to invoke FTP, which is the standard File Transfer Protocol.

For example, you can use your WINDOWS command shell and issue the command FTP . Another method is to use some FTP utility (WS-FTP is my favorite).

Of course, you can always run FTP from a JCL (EXEC PGM=FTP), but there's really no need of doing it.

By the way, you can run FTP directly from within your VB code, and transfer the files directly to the mainframe. We are doing it on a daily basis.
