MVS JCL Utilities Quick Reference


Book Description

IBM mainframe programmers will appreciate this handy reference for using the IBM MVS JCL utilities, such as IEBGENER and IDCAMS. It includes many examples of common functions with precise JCL syntax. Great desk reference!




Practical MVS JCL Examples


Book Description

Revised to be a companion/reference to Gary Brown's System 370/390 JCL, known as the ``JCL Bible,'' it contains a significant amount of actual JCL examples in the context of a single large model program, added upon as each new feature of JCL is introduced. Details the latest enhancements from IBM including MVS/ESA and SMS. Demonstrates debugging techniques through JCL. Illustrations are in TSO/ISPF with JCL to make the book's screen examples look exactly like those seen on a computer.

ABCs of IBM z/OS System Programming Volume 2


Book Description

The ABCs of IBM® z/OS® System Programming is a 13-volume collection that provides an introduction to the z/OS operating system and the hardware architecture. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced system programmer, the ABCs collection provides the information that you need to start your research into z/OS and related subjects. If you want to become more familiar with z/OS in your current environment or if you are evaluating platforms to consolidate your e-business applications, the ABCs collection can serve as a powerful technical tool. This volume describes the basic system programming activities related to implementing and maintaining the z/OS installation and provides details about the modules that are used to manage jobs and data. It covers the following topics: Overview of the parmlib definitions and the IPL process. The parameters and system data sets necessary to IPL and run a z/OS operating system are described, along with the main daily tasks for maximizing performance of the z/OS system. Basic concepts related to subsystems and subsystem interface and how to use the subsystem services that are provided by IBM subsystems. Job management in the z/OS system using the JES2 and JES3 job entry subsystems. It provides a detailed discussion about how JES2 and JES3 are used to receive jobs into the operating system, schedule them for processing by z/OS, and control their output processing. The link pack area (LPA), LNKLST, authorized libraries, and the role of VLF and LLA components. An overview of SMP/E for z/OS. An overview of IBM Language Environment® architecture and descriptions of Language Environment's full program model, callable services, storage management model, and debug information. Other volumes in this series include the following content: Volume 1: Introduction to z/OS and storage concepts, TSO/E, ISPF, JCL, SDSF, and z/OS delivery and installation Volume 3: Introduction to DFSMS, data set basics, storage management, hardware and software, catalogs, and DFSMStvs Volume 4: Communication Server, TCP/IP, and IBM VTAM® Volume 5: Base and IBM Parallel Sysplex®, System Logger, Resource Recovery Services (RRS), global resource serialization (GRS), z/OS system operations, automatic restart management (ARM), IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel SysplexTM (IBM GDPS®) Volume 6: Introduction to security, IBM RACF®, Digital certificates and PKI, Kerberos, cryptography and z990 integrated cryptography, zSeries firewall technologies, LDAP, and Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) Volume 7: Printing in a z/OS environment, Infoprint Server, and Infoprint Central Volume 8: An introduction to z/OS problem diagnosis Volume 9: z/OS UNIX System Services Volume 10: Introduction to IBM z/Architecture®, the IBM Z platform and IBM Z connectivity, LPAR concepts, HCD, and the DS Storage Solution Volume 11: Capacity planning, performance management, WLM, IBM RMFTM, and SMF Volume 12: WLM Volume 13: JES3, JES3 SDSF




Introduction to the New Mainframe: z/OS Basics


Book Description

This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides students of information systems technology with the background knowledge and skills necessary to begin using the basic facilities of a mainframe computer. It is the first in a planned series of book designed to introduce students to mainframe concepts and help prepare them for a career in large systems computing. For optimal learning, students are assumed to have successfully completed an introductory course in computer system concepts, such as computer organization and architecture, operating systems, data management, or data communications. They should also have successfully completed courses in one or more programming languages, and be PC literate. This book can also be used as a prerequisite for courses in advanced topics or for internships and special studies. It is not intended to be a complete text covering all aspects of mainframe operation or a reference book that discusses every feature and option of the mainframe facilities. Others who will benefit from this book include experienced data processing professionals who have worked with non-mainframe platforms, or who are familiar with some aspects of the mainframe but want to become knowledgeable with other facilities and benefits of the mainframe environment.
