JCL
In this two-day ABIS training, you learn all syntax details of JCL, the Job Control Language of IBM.
JCL, the Job Control Language of IBM, is mainly used in a mainframe environment or on a MicroFocus Enterprise Server. JCL instructions allow us to launch applications in a non-interactive (i.e., "batch") way.
During this course you learn
- to write JCL statements to obtain a correct execution of programs and to pass them the correct (input and output) data sets;
- to interpret the returned (error) messages via SDSF (Spool Display and Search Facility);
- to write, use and test JCL procedures.

Très bien, mais ça serait plus simple de voir juste 2-3 concepts et puis faire des exercices que tout voir d'un coup et puis faire des exercices
