Author Description
This book explains the two major mainframe interface products, showing how to use MVS Time-Sharing Option(TSO) and Interactive System Production Facility (ISPF) to create and store data, print documents, and perform data management functions. Also included are easy-to-use guidelines to help programmers process source languages, execute and track jobs, and test dialog management functions. The guide provides scores of examples of actual screens along with explanations of typical entry sequences to illustrate how to use TSO and ISPF features. It includes the latest product features and provides readers with dozens of time-saving techniques.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the operational mechanics and development capabilities of the MVS Time-Sharing Option (TSO) and the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) within mainframe environments. Kurt Bosler provides a structured technical manual designed to assist both end-users and software developers in navigating these legacy interfaces. By utilizing a combination of procedural instructions and visual screen examples, the text establishes a framework for efficient data management, job execution, and dialog testing.
