here i am going to give you the notes which i have discussed in previous video for your reference

Create a PS and PDS using IEFBR14 utility5:45
Learn to create a PS and a PDS using the IEFBR14 utility in JCL, allocate datasets, add a member, submit the job, and verify the new data sets.
Deleting datasets2:31
copying and comparing two PS files4:44
copying and comparing two PDS files8:43
Learn how to copy data from one PDS to another and verify that two PDS files are identical by comparing their contents, using debugging to adjust parameters.
merging two PS files to a single file1:21
Discover how to merge two PS files into a single file by aligning data pieces and ensuring data consistency.
Programs on SORT utility2:06
Explore how to use the sort utility in JCL to sort records, manage datasets, and output in descending order with examples like country and city data.
programs on IDCAMS utility4:17
Apply the IDCAMS utility to create and manage datasets, using keys, indexes, and search by key to display and store data efficiently.
creating alternate index for ksds file3:29
creating alternate index,build index and path for KSDS file4:12
Create the alternate index, build the index, and define the path for a KSDS file to enable efficient data retrieval.
creating backup using REPRO2:18
Learn to create backups using the REPRO utility, copying data with a program, and using from-to and key options to tailor the backup.
symbolic parameters and catalogue procedure3:42
Explore symbolic parameters and catalogue procedures in JCL, showing how symbolic markers enable parameter passing and how parameters are created and substituted within a job.
creating GDG(generation dataset groups)3:46

Requirements

should be familiar with mainframes
should know ISPF and z o/s

Description

Job Control Language (JCL) is a name for scripting languages used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem.

More specifically, the purpose of JCL is to say which programs to run, using which files or devices for input or output, and at times to also indicate under what conditions to skip a step.

Parameters in the JCL can also provide accounting information for tracking the resources used by a job as well as which machine the job should run on.

Have you ever wanted to learn to code but don't know where to start? Learning how to code can get you a better job and lead to a better future. This course starts you off with the basic coding language of JCL. This is a very good tutorial that will show you how to code in JCL. Enroll to begin your journey to be a Mainframe development master.

Below are the requirements for this course:

An internet connection
An up to date web browser
mainframe system with z o/s (or)
Mainframe terminal access(you can rent them for training purpose) and tn3270 emulator
