Mainframe: The Complete Jcl Course From Beginner To Expert (updated 5/2022)

Become an expert on JCL. Jcls are used for COBOL Programs. Procedures, Utilities, GDG and basics of TSO/ISPF are covered

What you'll learn

Create your own JCL and execute it.

Ultimate package of source code of at least 20 utilities and JCL.

To clear the jobs interview on JCL

Compile a COBOL program and run it using a JCL

Understand JOB, EXEC and DD statements and code it by yourself

Master the Keyword and positional parameters

Requirements

You should have a PC with internet connection

If you have a mainframe id then it will be beneficial but it is not necessary. You can also use the free softwares which has some limitations

If you are aware of TSO commands then it will be beneficial, some basic TSO commands are also covered in this course.

Basics of TSO/ISPF is required. If you do not know TSO/ISPF, i recommend you to enroll for my course on "Mainframe: The Complete TSO/ISPF Course from Beginner to Expert" first and then take this course.
