Together, they are designed to help improve user productivity in the development ofapplications. Also, they contain special functions for the development and use ofinteractive applications, called dialogs. Specifically: ISPF is a dialog manager for interactive applications. It provides control and services for execution of dialogs in the MVS and VM/SP environments. PDF is a facility that can aid in the development of dialogs and other types ofapplications. It makes use ofdisplay terminals and an interactive environment to help with many programming tasks. This manual provides information about the improvements and enhancements that have been made to the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF), program numbers 5664-282 (VM) and 5665-319 (MVS), and the ISPF Program Development Facility (ISPF/PDF), program numbers 5664-285 (VM) and 5665-317 (MVS). For VM users, these features are contained in Version 2 Release 2 of ISPF and PDF. For MVS users, these features are contained in Version 2 Release 3 of these products. This edition of the manual has been restructured into the following chapters: 1. ISPF Dialog Manager Version 2 Release 3 describes the enhancements and improvements to the ISPF Program Product Version 2 Release 3 for MVS environments. 2. ISPF Program Development Facility Version 2Release 3 describes the enhancements and improvements to the ISPF/PDF Version 2 Release 3 Program Product for MVS environments. 3. ISPF Dialog Manager Version 2 Release 2 describes the enhancements and improvements to the ISPF Program Product Version 2 Release 2 for VM and MVS environments. 4. ISPF Program Development Facility Version 2Release 2 describes the enhancements and improvements to the ISPF/PDF Version 2 Release 2 Program Product for VM and MVS environments. 5. ISPF and ISPF/PDF Version 2 Publications describes all the publications available with ISPF and ISPF/PDF Version 2Release 2for VM/SP and MVS and Version 2Release 3 for MVS. For VM/SP, the ISPF andISPF/PDF Version 2 Release 2 publications have been revised Preface 111 and reorganized to help you find the information you need more easily. Similarly, for MVS, the ISPF and ISPF/PDF Version 2 Release 3 publications have been revised and reorganized to make information more easily accessible. For both VM/SP and MVS, a Primer and Reference Cards have been added. 6. ISPF on the PC describes three products available for the PC. This manual is intended for: • New or prospective users who are unfamiliar with ISPF and ISPF/PDF ^ • VM and MVS users familiar with Version 1 of ISPF and ISPF/PDF • MVS users familiar with Version 2 Release 2 ofISPF and ISPF/PDF • Personal Computer users The following reading is suggested to learn all the features of ISPF and ISPF/PDF. New or prospective users who are not familiar with ISPF should first read ISPF General Information, Version 1, GC34-2078 to obtain information about Version 1ofISPF and ISPF/PDF. Next, read Chapters 1through 5or Chapters 3 through 5, depending on whether you are an MVS or VM user of ISPF and ISPF/PDF. VM/SP users ofISPF andISPF/PDF Version 1 should read Chapters 3 through 5 to obtain information about the current version and release of ISPF and PDF for VM environments. MVS users ofISPF and ISPF/PDF Version 1 should read Chapters 1 through 5 to obtain information about the current version and release of ISPF and PDF for MVS environments. MVS users who currently have ISPF and ISPF/PDF Version 2 Release 2 installed need only read Chapters 1 and 2 to learn about ISPF and ISPF/PDF Version 2 Release 3. Personal Computer users shouldread Chapter6 for the latest information on the ISPF and ISPF/PDF products for the PC. The origin, purpose, and design of these products are documented in the IBMSystems Journal, Volume 20, Number 4. Areprintis available, form niunber G321-5155.

    Rexx Hands-On Lab

    1 2 Welcome to the Introduction to Rexx Hands-on Lab. This lab will cover a series of topics about the Rexx language. At the end of each topic, there will be exercises that use the concepts covered in the charts and text for that topic. The solutions for the exercises are in Appendix A. This is not a graded class or lab so you are free to refer to the solutions if you would like or if you need help with any of the exercises. Also, if you need assistance with any of the lab material or exercises, please raise your hand and someone will come to assist you. 3 These are the exercises that you will be doing today. There are 2 PDF files on your desktop that you might find helpful as you work on the exercises: • REXX Reference will help you with statement syntax and usage • Appendix H is a summary of XEDIT commands that might be helpful when you are writing and updating your Rexx programs 4 This section introduces the Rexx Language and explains how to create and execute Rexx programs on z/VM and TSO systems. It also includes some z/VM hints to help you with today's exercises. 5 REXX is a nickname for Restructured eXtended eXecutor. The Rexx language was designed to be intuitive, easy to read, and easy to follow a program's logic. Rexx programs can be very simple, ranging from personal tools and utilities such as "scripts" of commands that you might run every day to set up your system or run test cases, to very complex programs that might be part of a licensed product.

    16520: Application Development for z/OS - Not your Father's Green Screen Rosalind Radcliffe Distinguished Engineer, IBM Academy of Technology Member IBM Corporation [email protected] @RosalindRad Insert Custom Session QR if Desired. Abstract Ask most people how they write and maintain applications on z/OS and you hear "oh, you use this thing called a green screen" followed by a chuckle. In reality, application development for zEnterprise applications has been transformed over the past several years to the point where application developers enjoy the same or better features from integrated development environments as programmers who work on other platforms. Advances in remote system communication and interaction, syntax- highlighting, parsing, and code understanding for Assembler, PL/I, C/C++, and COBOL source code, as well as programming assists such as code snippets and templates are all available to application programmers. Interactive debug of applications, written in multiple programming languages and running in various runtime environments is also possible and can greatly boost programmer productivity. Come and learn about how these features can enable application developers who are new to the mainframe to interact with, update, and efficiently enhance mainframe applications. 16721: Decision Management: Making the Right Change, at the Right Time 3/4/15 3 IBM DevOps point of view Enterprise capability for continuous software delivery that enables organizations to seize market opportunities and reduce time to customer feedback Continuous

Kohun, Robert Morris University, [email protected] John Turchek, Robert Morris University, [email protected] David Wood, Robert Morris University, [email protected] Daniel Rota, Robert Morris University, [email protected] ABSTRACT Over the decades the concept of a mainframe has been synonymous to IBM operating systems and the COBOL programming language. While object-orientated programming languages, web interface transaction systems, web services, distributed services, and mobile application topics are frequently included in the IS/CS curriculum, this paper considers the inclusion of IBM Enterprise Systems. IBM zEnterprise has evolved into an integrated, scalable, enterprise system which supports legacy applications, open-source applications and tools, DB2, Cognos, SPSS, data mining and Rational project management tools. The growth and market penetration of IBM zEnterprise has been spectacular. This evolution of IBM Enterprise Systems provides many opportunities for IS/CS majors. A case study implementing the IBM Academic Initiative in an ABET-CAC curriculum is presented.

Resulting Configuration: o Z9 in FL running 4 z/OS LPARs (all 1.12) – 150mips o Z10 in FL running 1 VSE/ESA LPAR (1.5) – 70mips Customer Background . Customer goal to cut costs o An os for each machine from IBM ($$) o Adabas for each machine ($$$) o Similar Third-party software on both machines ($$$) o Maintenance, floor space, HVAC costs ($$) o Operations (staff) costs ($) . Customer was concerned with older VSE/ESA o Out of Service o CICS/VS – CICS/TS conversion . The decision was to take the money budgeted for upgrading the VSE and use it instead to migrate the one remaining VSE LPAR to z/OS o Unpopular with VSE programmers but there were only 3 left.
