Abstract
The ABCs of IBM® z/OS® System Programming is a 13-volume collection that provides an introduction to the z/OS operating system and the hardware architecture. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced system programmer, the ABCs collection provides the information that you need to start your research into z/OS and related subjects. If you want to become more familiar with z/OS in your current environment or if you are evaluating platforms to consolidate your e-business applications, the ABCs collection can serve as a powerful technical tool.
This volume describes the basic system programming activities
related to implementing and maintaining the z/OS installation and
provides details about the modules that are used to manage jobs and
data. It covers the following topics:
Overview of the parmlib definitions and the IPL process. The
parameters and system data sets necessary to IPL and run a z/OS
operating system are described, along with the main daily tasks for
maximizing performance of the z/OS system.
Basic concepts related to subsystems and subsystem interface and
how to use the subsystem services that are provided by IBM
subsystems.
Job management in the z/OS system using the JES2 and JES3 job
entry subsystems. It provides a detailed discussion about how JES2
and JES3 are used to receive jobs into the operating system,
schedule them for processing by z/OS, and control their output
processing.
The link pack area (LPA), LNKLST, authorized libraries, and the
role of VLF and LLA components.
An overview of SMP/E for z/OS.
An overview of IBM Language Environment® architecture and
descriptions of Language Environment’s full program model, callable
services, storage management model, and debug
information.
