System Programming for IBM MVS 3.8 - M12

We take a real life example, the installation of an APF authorized task scheduler, to see how to do everyday system programming tasks. All this, of course, also applies to z/OS

I can rarely think of a time when I was able to get any JCL with assembly or PL/1 programmed with such success as on this video. Congratulations, this was really well done. Your sharing of knowledge, and patience, is appreciated greatly.

Thanks for making the screen bigger this time. Not easy to tackle this assembler program. But you pave the way with some pointers here and there. Keep up the good work.

Hi Moshix, did you ever finish the Every update to this ? And/or have it available for download somewhere ?

Has been decades since I’ve touched any assembler but would love to play with something like this … I’ll probably write an interface to the control member to make coding it simpler - which even if you didn’t, I could make it write out cards to perform xyz every say 20 minutes thus create the 72 separate cards

There is no need to download to linux to extract the tgz file. Just install winrar will do that job.

It's "kome' sort, not "com" sort....as in hair comb, due to the fashion in which it sorts...and COBOL is WAY easier than the stuff you do here on mainframes...I'm sure you could pick it up in an hr or two if you had the interest...which I think you should do for many reasons...It's a beautiful language...one could write a story with it in source code that could compile into a executable which when run would give the conclusion to the story or similar...a pet project of mine some time in the future.
