Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for usage and examples.

This is one book that I would not want to have to do without. Worth every cent, an excellent resource for sample code, utility programs, and infromation. Doug Lowe has a very good style that makes it easy to learn. One of my best buys!

An excellent beginning JCL book - current for MVS/ESA

An excellent JCL book for beginners and to use as a reference. This is one of the 2 definitive up-to-date JCL books (the other being Gary Deward Browns book). Good explanations of mainframe concepts as well.

A great introductory JCL text.

Doug Lowe does it again! This book is perfect for those with little to no JCL experience. Easy to read and full of examples and complete descriptions of what is going on, this book is a true find. It worked for me.

A must for beginners in MVS JCL

First of all, in response to the review by a fellow from India dated January 1999, this book's primary aim is to learn the basics of MVS JCL and does not cover SYNCSORT's sum,inrec,etc commands. Anyway, I highly recommend this book to novice who wants to learn and enhance their knowledge about MVS JCL.

This book will turn novices into expert MVS/JCL users.

This book will teach you how to use JCL, even if you have no experience. In two weeks, I went from not knowing any JCL statements to impressing all of the operation analyst where I work. I recommend this book to people who are not familiar with MVS/JCL and would like an easy way to learn.
