Try this book 'UNIX as a Second Language' by Robert H. Johnson - its target audience is MVS sysprogs, but you can just reverse it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-3981242-3303052
Also see the 'ABCs of System Programming' vols. 1-10: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/SG245597.html?Open Mac...... -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Orcutt Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: MVS (z/OS) Beginner resources I'm new to the MVS world. I mostly have a background in UNIX (many varieties), OS/2, Windows, and some VM/CMS. What I'm looking for is any recommendations people have on where someone might get started learning the basics of MVS(z/OS). A book or website or two would be best, but an official, paid class will probably be out of budget for me. The role I'll be playing is that of a REXX programmer (I know REXX from my OS/2 and VM/CMS days.) helping to automate a number of the job flows on our mainframe. So, any books/sites people can recommend?
