Learn Idea in Mainframes

[NicC]

Maybe it is actually meant to be 'leaRn'.

Girish, please learn to avoid sms/chatroom style of writing: 'u' should be 'you' etc. We can ignore the odd dropped letter as just being a typo: 'dnt' versus 'dont'.

will you pls tell me just one lean idea for reference ?

Thanks for your help.

As no one but you, Girish, seems to know what a 'lean' idea is, no one can help you.

As you use the system, you will probably find things that are inconvenient to use, or the associated report could be made more readable. For example - don't forget, this was 1969, before TSO and long before SPF - I decided using IEHLIST to list a PDS directory was not terribly easy. In fact, it still is. I decided I could write a program to list a directory. The IEHLIST directory listing itself was OK, but the LISTPDS statement in IEHLIST was a pain in the neck, and it was obvious the data set could be specified in JCL, so there was no need for a control statement. In other words, the JCL should look like this -

Code: Select all

//        EXEC PGM=PDSLIST
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=SHR,DSNAME=a PDS data set

You can learn quite a bit doing things like that; I certainly did.
