Writing the Definitive Systems Programmer Resume
Ever feel like your resume goes into a black hole? I would like to invite anyone attending next week's SHARE conference in Pittsburgh to come to my session entitled "Writing the Definitive Systems Programmer Resume" (session 25087, Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 3:30 PM). This will be the 13th time I have given this presentation at SHARE and it contains a lot of useful information and samples for the aspiring resume writer. Over the last 37 years I have written thousands and thousands of mainframe systems resumes. Here is a link to my session: https://events.share.org/Summer2019/Public/SessionDetails.aspx?FromPage=Sessions.aspx&SessionID=8678 If you cannot attend, feel free to send me an email (or LinkedIn message) and I will send you a link to my PowerPoint slides.

Re: IBM Destination z - Of Elephants and Mainframes
There was no NASA until 1958, although there was a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. But I doubt that such systems as SAGE and BUIC were written in machine language.

Re: IBM Destination z - Of Elephants and Mainframes
Thank you, Gabe. I'm honoured that you read my writing so closely, and I take your correction seriously. I'll be more careful how I phrase such things in future articles. FWIW, I am aware that Fortran and other pre-COBOL languages already existed, so perhaps I should have said "much of this stuff" instead. (And to those who have made other suggestions on IBM-MAIN that I should have caught, but missed, in the past, my apologies: still getting into good habits of keeping up with this important part of the mainframe ecosystem.)

I'm curious about how comprehensive SMPE's support of zFS objects is.
For example, does the GIMDTS SYSUT2 reflect the values of extended
(admittedly non-POSIX) attributes such as CCSID and FILEFMT, and are
the restored by the RECEIVE; APPLY sequence? It's a shame if these
valuable (at least to z/OS) metadata are not supported.
ISPF, for example, has good support for combinations such as CCSID=UTF-8
and FILEFMT=RECORD. These matter in text files; less in .jar.
Is there an extended compare utility that compares metadata also?

You can optimize your control cards, You can have multiple STARTAFT and
ENDBEFR parms on PARSE.
Use the following Control cards which will give you the desired results

5,70,SS,EQ,C'DATACLAS(')

Re: Extract next eight character positions after SubString Match
Thanks everyone,
I found that sometime I see DATACLAS=value and sometimes I would see
DATACLAS(value) so I made a couple of changes to allow VB input and FB
output, as well as choosing the DATACLAS format.
Here is what I ended up with using (retyped from my ISPF screen) .
OPTION VLSCMP
RECORD TYPE=V
INCLUDE COND=(5,70,SS,EQ,C'DATACLAS')
INREC IFOUTLEN=21,
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(5,70,SS,EQ,C'DATACLAS=',
PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C'DATACLAS=',FIXLEN=8),
%02=(ENDBEFR=C',',FIXLEN=8)),
BUILD=(1,4,5:%02,13:X'001C')),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(5,70,SS,EQ,C'DATACLAS(',
PARSE=(%03=(ENDBEFR=C'DATACLAS(',FIXLEN=8),
%04=(ENDBEFR=C')',FIXLEN=8)),
BUILD=(1,4,5:%04,13:X'001C'))
SORT FIELDS=(5,8,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=(13,8,PD)
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOF01,CONVERT,OUTREC=(5,16)

Re: Sort job to get price variance records
>>I am getting the o/p as expected , but not sure whether what i have done is completely correct . Could you please check and let me know if the above needs correction ? Ron, You are NOT getting the o/p as expected. You shouldn't be writing the 50318 789997580026.00 36052911 DF record as it does NOT have any record with a price difference. You simply did not follow the directions that I gave. STEP 1 should be writing 2 files, but you only wrote 1 file and you added your own logic of counts. Not sure as to why you need the counts. Your Price starts at 65 and not 64. I accidentally mentioned 64 and you the owner of the data should be able to correct it to the right positions. Since you had at least put in a effort and tried to code the job based on the directions, I will show you the optimized control cards.

Use the following DFSORT JCL which will give you the desired results. I

Extract next eight character positions after SubString Match
Hello to the DFSORT folks. I have a file of data containing extracts from some JCL. Specifically, I am looking for all values of DATACLAS. This all relates back to Pervasive Encryption. I just want a quick report of the DATACLAS values in use today, as well as the counts for each DATACLAS item I find. I ran a quick compare to get a report from our JCL Library, and now I am building a SORT to look at the variable length input file data. I can use 'INCLUDE COND=(5,70,SS,EQ,C'DATACLAS=') to select a subset of records from the original compare report. I could take this file and play with it in ISPF EDIT to pull out the eight bytes following 'DATACLAS='. However, I am wondering if I can do this in DFSORT. So, if I have DATACLAS=FRED, I would want to extract and summarize FRED and if I have DATACLAS=POTATO I would want to extract and summarize POTATO I guess the question is how can I extract characters from the input records that appear following the SubString match?
