MVS/ESA is a relatively new IBM system, and this book focuses on the more complex and challenging aspects of MVS JCL, with thorough explanations of what to do and - more importantly - what not to do. Using a real-world approach, it addresses problems as they occur in a real environment, with thorough coverage of: usage of the COND parameter; all the new parameters available under MVS/ESA; the new use of the catalogue under MVS/ESA when SMS is used; the new ability to create VSAM clusters via JCL; how to use the most common MVS/ESA utilities; how to write, execute, and override catalogued procedure; the different types of failures possible under MVS/ESA; how disk and tape data sets are retrieved; syntax, meaning and usage of DD statement parameters. Concentrating on the latest advanced techniques, the book is directed primarily to experienced MVS JCL users (using any MVS version).
It's completely up-to-date, covering important topics other books either omit of treat lightly, and invaluable to all technical personnel working under or migrating to an MVS/ESA (MVS/SP Version 3) - including programmers, analysts, technical support specialists, operators, auditors, and technical managers.
