Hello jaro and welcome to the forums,

Opinions vary. . . ;)

There is a tutorial builT into tso/ispf. From the ISPF Primary Option Menu, press PF1 and you are at he start of the tutorial.

If you are doing something in tso/ispf and have problems, pressing PF1 gives the "short" version of the help. Pressing PF1 again, gives more detailed help info.

Thanks.
I think this is good idea but i need printscreen or ????. Video tutorial is the best. I see anything video CD from India but is not free, and next video material from ibm site but not free.

today i create new package, compile, frozen, debugging program etc, use CICS but here is very much options and I can't remeber everthing.
This is difficult.

Yes, other than possibly attending a class or other live presentation (where one may ask questions), a video tutorial is a very good thing. I'm not aware of a free video tutorial. . .

but here is very much options and I can't remeber everthing.

Yes, when it is new, there are very many things to deal with. The good news is that it improves with repitition.

Good luck and when there are questions/problems, i'd suggest you try the forum search (above) and if you don't see something that will help, post your question in the proper part of the forum.

Someone will see your question and reply soon (hopefully :) )
