Well, did he ever say if he meant z/OS UNIX (his ISHELL reference) or
z/Linux? There are going to be differences!! z/Linux is usually BASH.
z/OS UNIX is usually Korn-like.
In either case, THIS IS THE WRONG FORUM! If z/OS UNIX, then the proper
forum is MVS-OE. If z/Linux, the proper forum is LINUX-390.
For Bash, he could try: http://steve-parker.org/sh/sh.shtml
for z/OS (Korn), maybe:
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/classes/ksh/print_pages.shtml
or he can use a search engine with the search argument: "+unix +shell
+script"

The "standard" shell on z/OS UNIX is /bin/sh which is

shell. There is a port (old) of Bash which can be

as well.
Let's have mercy on the poor b****** and answer his blessed
question.
There are a million books on shell scripting. I recommend
Classic Shell Scripting
