Wow, I have to say… I feel good! Do you feel good? I really hope you do. Today I have planned to write my own very first piece of COBOL code. That means I’ll write my own JCL to compile the COBOL and execute it. Let’s keep it simple today. To be honest, that’s an easy way to hide the fact that I don’t fully know what I’m doing, haha. The next step will be writing COBOL code that reads...

I’ve already used COBOL in IBM’s Master the Mainframe 2018 contest, but this time I’m working in MVS 3.8! What am I planning to do here? Well, before I start learning COBOL I want to know how I can edit, compile and run it on my own mainframe. MVS3.8 provides a small piece of test code in SYS2.JCLLIB called TESTCOB. So I go to RFE. Then I need to navigate in...

I want this mainframe to feel more like my own. Maybe you want yours to feel more like yours too, unless you don’t have a mainframe. Then please, go back to MOM Pt. 001: Setting up my own Mainframe! You really need a mainframe, you just don’t know it yet. You can even use it as a fancy calculator, that is a whole other level of hipster. NETSOL is short for Network...
