Congratulations! I know how exciting it is to get a job you were really wanting.

We're happy over here because my husband just got offered and accepted another job in his company which is a huge promotion. He finished his B.A. last summer so this is a big step forward for him to utilize his schooling, plus he will only have to work 40 hours a week to make the same amount that he is currently working 60 hours a week (out in the heat) to make with OT. Whoo hoo!

[selenau837]

Thank you Brian, late is ok. It is just the thought that counts. Besides, you just retired and I'm starting my Career. Got any tips so I can have as long and productive career as you have.




I was brave and asked for the Agenda for all the classes. Wow, I'm in for a HUGE change.

Here are a few items I'll be learning

• MVS Concepts and Terminology
• Basic JCL
• COBOL (knew that)
• Structured Design in Sequential File Handling
• APS
• S-COBOL
• Dumpmaster (???)
• Endevor ACMQ
• Vista
• JHS

Those are just a few items. I'm starting to psych myself out now. Can anyone tell me what some of those itmes are?
Dumpmaster? WTH?? That just sounds funny!

 

[Brianwarnock]

I'm along time out of main frames and things will have moved on my guess is Dumpmaster is software to improve the analysis of the machine dumps one gets when things go wrong on the mainframe, in the 60s and 70s it was just a hex dump but as time past it got more formatted.

I guess you know MVS is the operating system , MVS because its dynamic variable number of partitions as opposed to the old MFT which had a predetermined fixed number, and Job Control Language is the control statement system for running jobs, its very comprehensive but usually a small subset of the parameters are all that's required for testing, we had a specialist team of schedulers for the live stuff.

I guess that's the end of this old guys knowledge
