This how-to book will have you writing or maintaining batch DL/I programs in a minimum of time -- whether you're working on an MVS or a VSE system. Yet it doesn't neglect the conceptual background you must have to work confidently with DL/I. What's more, this book has 3 chapters that describe in detail how DL/I databases are stored and accessed, so you'll know how to program more logically and efficiently for the type of database you're processing. This critical information isn't found in other IMS books or the IBM manuals.

This review is from: IMS for the Cobol Programmer, Part 1: Data Base Processing With Ims/Vs and Dl/I Dos/Vs (Pt.1) (Paperback)

If you're an applications programmer and need to learn DL/I to extract information from IMS hierarchical databases, this is the book for you. Don't let the size fool you; you can get through it in under a fortnight. This book contains the most of what any applications programmer working in the mainframe environment will need for all applications.
