Really good

This book covers everything you need to know about VSAM & IDCAMS. You should be at least semi-familiar with JCL and TSO/ISPF. The focus is on utility, skipping a few things you would never do anyway. The only negative thing is that the peripheral subjects are very out of date (ie:It helps to know that DFP was the predecessor to DF/SMS). It has wonderful examples that are clear and easy follow. Each example is shown 3 ways: 1. From the TSO command line 2. In OS(MVS) JCL 3. In DOS JCL(does anyone still use this?). While the book could stand an update, it is still very useful.
