4.0 out of 5 stars A truly useful primer for the beginning VSAM programmer., August 23, 1998

This review is from: VSAM for the COBOL Programmer (Paperback)

This book has proven its worth many times in a training program administered by my staff. All aspects of VSAM processing have been clearly laid out with excellent examples of each concept being used in a COBOL program. Since COBOL is still the reigning king of business programming, this book still retains a useful place in any mainframe programmer's library and is an excellent primer for the beginning programmer.

This review is from: VSAM for the COBOL Programmer (Paperback)

This book is even better than the original, which I bought over 10 years ago. Easy to understand and full of IMPORTANT information and lots of lesser-known features which I need, not the trivialities that you dont need. This really is a working programmer's desk guide.
