Description
All COBOL programmers in IBM's MVS mainframe operating environment (estimated at more than a million) use Job Control Language (JCL). This book teaches novices what they need to know to understand this language better. It also serves as a quick reference for the more experienced JCL user. The work contains hundreds of JCL segments followed by explanations; three chapters on JCL utilities; four chapters on VSAM basics; and a chapter on TSO/ISPF (Time Sharing Option/Interactive System Productivity Facility).
