I've been coding and managing Java & ASP.Net applications & servers for my entire career. Now I'm being directed towards involvement in mainframes, ie z/OS & JCL, and I'm finding it difficult to wrap my head around it (they still talk about punch cards!). What's the best way to go about learning all this after having been completely spoi...
i'm using JCL's expression evaluator TEvaluator (a marvelous creation donated by barry kelly). (THANK YOU barry!) background i've used the AddFunc method. function MyFunc:double; begin // calculations here Result:=1; end; you can use the AddFunc method to make the function available: AddFunc('MyFunc', MyFunc); here's t...
I am a bit confused on how to create a symbolic variable in JCL for an assignment I am doing in my COBOL class. For example, I am supposed to "Specify a symbolic parameter for the PARM option and specify TEST and APOST as the default." How do I designate the "PARM" option to be a symbolic parameter? EDIT: Forgive the oversight; it see...
Ok, so I am having some trouble figuring out how to get IEBGENER working in the way that I want it to. I should preface all this by saying that I am running IEBGENER in a z/OS environment on an academic mainframe. Now, I have three JCL procedures (PROC) inline to some COBOL code that I am working with, and I need to stick IEBGENER in a...
Hi, Here is my requirement.... I have 2 input files of 5200 length.

Can someone tell me the best way to run a piece of JCL on IBM zOS from a Java web app on a different server (Windows). I also need get a response code back from the job. The 2 options at the moment are: 1) Using JES - But its hard to get the response back 2) Make a call through a DB2 procedure. Is there another (better) way ...
I have to solve a CSP logic problem using Java Constraints Library. For now I've managed to represent some constraints of the problem, most of them are based on "equals" and "not equals" binary constraints. My doubt is, how to represent an addition based constraint? Example: variable1 belongs to DomainA variable2 belongs to DomainB var...

I'm looking for more current recommendations on the JCL. I need to choose between using the JCL or just using straight Log4j. I can see the benefits of JCL, but articles such as http://www.qos.ch/logging/thinkAgain.jsp leave me a little unsettled. However, these articles are a bit old and a search of JCL bug fixes seems to indicate so...
