Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Thanks Robert.

But as I'm working in mainframes so I was looking forward to start with some tools which can be used in mainframes and that will help me going forward.....

Thanks. After some search I could perhaps understand that whether we use IDCAMS directly or use it using IKJEFT01, it's the same thing. Is not it?

Thanks for all the answers. I'm trying to get more information form your experience, though I might not be very correct in outting up all my questions well. That's right that if I learn SAS and company is not using it then it will be of no use but then it applies to COBOL too. I was in a project whi...

What is crap in this? It is mostly an inpiring story!?

Thanks enrico-sorichetti. It was to learn different ways of doing same thing. I have noticed some of the examples making use of IKJEFT01 JCL too but looks like ti calls IDCAMS only.

Hello,

Can we increase the limit of a GDG to more than 1000 by some other means than IDCAMS? Is it possible only through changing limit of GDG one by one in IDCAMS?

And if I need to increse the limit of many GDGs in signle go can we do that? Please help.

Thanks.

Unless you are interested in getting a doctorate at a university, I suspect you probably don't want to move to data science but into some aspect of data...

This indeed inspiring one, a good read, specially when I am feeling so low.

10067 The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him “MIDNIGHT”… he didn’t seem pissed off in the least. Whew, I got away with that one! Then he said “We need a new cuckoo clock.” When I asked him why, he said, “Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said “oh s**...

Hi,

Can Data science be praticed in mainframes? I am currently working in to mainframes and would like to move to data science, what is the best wayh to learn it and be in mainframes too?
