Using File Manager for z/OS

This course will introduce students to the skills necessary to use File Manager for z/OS. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

• Use File Manager to view and edit standard z/OS file types (including VSAM).
• Apply a COBOL or PL/I layout to a dataset and reformat the layout as required.
• Build and apply templates to specify the records to be accessed within a dataset.
• Populate a dataset by copying or extracting data from sequential or VSAM datasets.
• Reformat existing record layouts to generate new datasets.
• Use File Manager to compare datasets.
• Modify File Manager system parameters as required.

A series of lab exercises will be used to reinforce the classroom education.
