Developing Applications for z/OS UNIX

PT5645
Training Summary
Students who complete this course will be able to create and maintain programs written to run in the z/OS UNIX environment and that use callable z/OS UNIX System Services as well as C functions. They will also be able to construct and use makefiles to support their applications.
Prerequisites
Before taking this course, fundamental knowledge of z/OS UNIX shell scripting such as might be obtained from attending course PT5643: "Shell scripting in z/OS UNIX", and familiarity with at least one of these programming languages: COBOL, PL/I, C, LE-compliant Assembler is required.
Duration
3 Days/Lecture & Lab
Audience
This course is designed for programmers experienced with working in a z/OS environment who will be designing and coding applications that are to be run using z/OS UNIX.
