All COBOL programmers in IBM's MVS mainframe operating environment (estimated at more than a million) use Job Control Language (JCL). This book teaches novices what they need to know to understand this language better. It also serves as a quick reference for the more experienced JCL user. The work contains hundreds of JCL segments followed by explanations; three chapters on JCL utilities; four chapters on VSAM basics; and a chapter on TSO/ISPF (Time Sharing Option/Interactive System Productivity Facility).

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for the novice a reference for the initiated; xlnt,
By A Customer
This review is from: The MVS JCL Primer (J Ranade Ibm Series) (Paperback)
The text takes a confusing, subject and gives order and a sense of simplicity in its systematic and progressive approach. The plethora of examples contain step-by-step explanations and build upon the books previous lessons. Though the style is not tutorial you do have a sense that the authors are taking you by the hand and guiding you to JCL mastery. This book could well substitute for a semester of JCL in college.

Good reference book for MVS/ESA JCL,
This review is from: The MVS JCL Primer (J Ranade Ibm Series) (Paperback)
This book explains JCL for all levels of programmers. Since being updated for MVS/ESA, it contains all the new JCL features available. It is handy as both a reference and a how-to explanation.

Good teaching guide but quickly becoming outdated,
By A Customer
This review is from: The MVS JCL Primer (J Ranade Ibm Series) (Paperback)
This book is good for teaching JCL to beginners. It is quickly becoming outdated as it does not cover the new MVS/ESA enhancements such as IF/THEN/ELSE condition code logic, standalone keywords such as RECFM, LRECL, etc. This book should be considered for a beginner but not as a reference due to the outdated nature of the book
