JES3plus - JES3plus for Application Programmers

Duration

1 hour

Overview

In this course application programmers are shown how, through the use of job control language (JCL), JES3^plus control statements can be used to provide special instructions to JES3^plus to perform on their jobs during job processing. Also discussed is how deadline scheduling can be implemented to make the best possible use of available resources along with dependent job control which can be used to control the flow of jobs based on specific conditions.

Audience

This course is suitable for application programmers that use JCL to execute application programs in a JES3^plus environment.
