This course primarily deals with calling various
TSO and REXX services from programs written in
Assembler, COBOL, PL/I, and C:
No DAIRFAIL, GNRLFAIL, PARSE or SCAN?
As the Bob Seger song says, it's a question of deciding
"what to leave in, what to leave out". My goal with
this course is to help applications programmers integrate
their apps with TSO and / or REXX with compiled (or
Assembled) programs. They are not writing TMPs (does anyone
do that these days?).
I only taught the predecessor course once in 15 years; I
had a request for it for one student for this month; so
I chose to update the course by: 1) using the Enterprise
compilers facilities (which ended up simplifying some of
the tasks over using the older compilers), 2) adding in
examples and labs in C (which ended up in complexifying
matters somewhat, since C is not my favorite language;
but with some help from this group I learned some new
[to me] techniques and included them in the course, and
3) adding lots more code examples, especially in coding for
the address link, address attach, address linkmvs, address
linkpgm, address linkpgm, and address attchpgm environments.
Further, if they "get" the contents of the course as it
is, they'll have a lot of code samples that will be
most instructive in using the additional services one
might want.
So, I feel really good about the contents of the course
as it stands. The title, after all, is "_Introduction_
to TSO and REXX APIs".
Kind regards,
