Developing applications for z/OS UNIX - Course Objectives

On successful completion of this course, the student, with the aid of the appropriate reference materials, should be able to:

  1. Create programs written in COBOL, PL/I, C, or Assembler that:
    1. are compiled and bound under z/OS batch or a z/OS UNIX shell
    2. run in batch or from a shell script and that can ...
      • work with z/OS files and files in the Hierarchical File System (HFS)
      • interact with users at a z/OS UNIX terminal
      • dynamically call subroutines that are located in a z/OS library or an HFS directory
  2. Compile and bind C programs using c89, or Assemble and bind programs using c89, Assemble programs using the as command, or compile and bind COBOL programs using cob2 or compile and bind PL/I programs using pli
  3. Bind programs using the ld command
  4. Code programs in C, COBOL, PL/I or Assembler that invoke common C functions to accomplish work, when that is the best way to get the task done
  5. Code programs in C, COBOL, PL/I or Assembler that invoke common kernel services to accomplish work, when that is the best way to get the task done
  6. Code programs in C, COBOL, PL/I or Assembler that create, set, access, and update environment variables, and that access the parm data passed to a main program
