This guide is designed for both programmers and operators, and for mainframe programmers interested in programming on the AS/400. It covers all aspects of AS/400 programming and operations, including COBOL and RPG, plus AS/400 Control Language and Query. It contains illustrations and examples from real programs to help users get the most from AS/400. The illustrations aim to guide mainframe programmers interested in learning AS/400 concepts.

Explains how to use COBOL/370 to develop applications and access a compiler from either a programmable workstation or a mainframe. Stresses programming and design factors of building applications, describing techniques that work. Covers non-COBOL topics including compile options, JCL and performance issues. Its unique, challenging approach and comprehensive coverage will enable programmers to write better code.

Rather than rehashing basic information--such as command syntax--already available in other publications, this book focuses on important security and audit issues, business best practices, and compliance, discussing the important issues in IBM mainframe security. Mainframes are the backbone of most large IT organizations; security cannot be left to chance. With very little training available to the younger crowd, and older, more experienced personnel retiring or close to retiring, there is a nee...

Analytics, Mobile, and Cloud are changing the landscape for enterprise customers. These technology trends are driven partly by an explosion of data and by business’ needs to gain “deeper business insight” from enterprise data, to improve business efficiency and effectiveness. The enterprise’s data server is at the heart of this revolution—so data servers must be agile, secure, and integrate seamlessly with these newer technologies. This book provides an overview of how DB2 12 addresses these bu...
