Mainframe Training Overview
This course is a combination of lecture, discussion and hands-on lab sessions
- JES processing
- Use several commonly used IBM utilities
- JCL Procedures are built and "overridden"
- Recognize, analyze & correct typical ABENDs "caused" by JCL "errors".
- Discuss JCL conditional processing is covered in detail
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, each student will be able to -
- Describe the function of JES
- Use the Sort/Merge utility and other IBM utilities - IDCAMS, IEBGENER, IEBCOPY
- Create and use JCL procedures
- Analyze JCL abends
- Describe the JCL conditional parameters - COND and IF ENDIF
- Use DFSORT and ICETOOLs to build quick reports and to build more efficient batch JCL
Mainframe Training Audience
This course is for entry level programmers or experienced information processing personnel who need an in-depth knowledge of some JCL (Job Control Language) Advanced topics.
Prerequisites
- Participants should have a good working knowledge of data processing fundamentals.
- TSO/ISPF experience is needed for signing on and using the editor.
- Basic JCL experience is needed for building JCL, running and reviewing JOB output
