Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Are we making some progress on this, just curious.

Well done! It's nice associate faces with names!

Be well - Happy New Year!

One way might be to start with some book on subject of your choice. You might pick up something from Murach Publication and start reading it. They have quite a good number of books on Mainframes and they write it very user friendly. Anuj has started a section here for the pointers to such books, how...

DCLGEN, in a very basic sense, is just a (COBOL) copybook equivalent of a table structure. You can even write COPY some-dclgen and that will work. But as DCLGEN is generated using DB2 it is usually included using INCLUDE DCLGEN-name, just to "show" that this piece of information belong to ...

This is a nice idea - but will it be like an on-line question/answer system or you'll just post the questions and answers later? If later is what you plan to do, I believe that won't be very appealing.

I think reply from Robert here: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=579 can also help you if you're looking for the lengths of different variables in the copybook.

You can look at these links:

You can add a section on the links and documents for Natural /Adabas, if you can manage to get a general material, not covered under copyright, on them.

This is an excellent system you've put-in on this Forum! Loved the way it shows the "click to view votes". This will be great.

Apart from that - +1 for "PC General Help Forum".

As has been said - STROBE is performance monitoring tool and not used for only DB2. This page give you more information on it: http://www.compuware.com/en_us/mainframe-solutions/products/strobe-mainframe-performance-monitoring.html EXPALIN, actually is not a "Tool" - it's a "DB2 state...

Congratulations Bill!

From a known I got to know about you.

Congratulations Akshya! Have Fun!

As you've this question posted in multiple Forums, we've a thread open in "Moderators' part" of the Forum. Possibly Anuj will be moving it to "all" soon to have a discussion and then one of us can reply to you.

Thanks.

Congratulations !
