Unisys Mainframe Training : Basic Symbolic Stream Generator (SSG) Workshop

SSG is used to build ECL and ANY repetitive task and allows data via file or interaction (demand or console). Using lecture, discussion and hands-on workshop, you will learn how to use SSG. Not only are the basic uses and purposes of SSG discussed, but also, you'll receive a thorough understanding in using skeleton parameters (SGSs), subroutines and interactive skeletons. In addition, you'll build your own SSG utility and learn how to make it the most efficient and easiest tool
