OS/390 COBOL
Description
This course provides information regarding the use and future directions of
COBOL under OS/390. It begins by covering the fundamentals of accessing three
important databases and transaction systems from the point of view of the COBOL
programmer. These are the CICS online transaction processing system, the DB2
relational database, and the IMS/DB hierarchical database management system.
The course covers the essential topics related to embedded appropriate subsystem-specific
commands in COBOL to accomplish the desired result. The CICS unit includes
the producing of 3270 screen formats using MAP. Some fundamental SQL and traditional
relational database manipulation topics are covered. IMS access includes the
use of DL/1 calls. The course contains a unit devoted to a number of varied
OS/390 COBOL techniques including use of the special Millennium Language Extensions,
which permits the continued operation of programs based on a 2-digit year with
minimal coding changes. Other
Topics Include
character set considerations and debugging techniques. An introduction is provided
to VisualAge COBOL Enterprise, IBM's COBOL development environment of the future.
Special emphasis is given to the remote edit, compile, and debug facilities.
Also provided is an overview of VisualBuilder, an important element of VisualAge
COBOL Enterprise, which permits creation of COBOL objects called parts which
may be created and connected in VisualBuilder in order to generate object-oriented
COBOL programs. This course is written to OS/390 2.x.
Audience
This course is designed for programmers, developers, and systems analysts who
intend to use COBOL within the OS/390 environment.
Prerequisites
Completion of OS/390 Introduction and OS/390 Concepts and Facilities courses
