And if you need refreshing about POP it is "Principles of OPerations" easily found just by putting that into Google.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

I´d rather recommend the z/OS Basics from IBM, which you can find here: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246366.html ,
or why not some self-paced training, also for free, which you will find here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/educati ... l#BootCamp .
After those, you may be ready for the POP, http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin ... /CCONTENTS !!
