Training Summary
Students who complete this course will be able to accomplish work using TSO/ISPF in the z/OS environment, including the full screen editor, job submission and monitoring facilities, the utility functions, and productivity features such as command stacking and split screen processing.
They will also be able code essential JCL statements to submit batch jobs, run some batch utilities and basic SORT work. They are also introduced to procedures and SET, INCLUDE, and JOBLIB statements, among others.
This course contains most of the content from the two courses "TSO/ISPF in z/OS" (PT5543) and "z/OS JCL and Utilities" (PT5551), but is slightly reduced to work in five days instead of six.
