Presentation

Building upon the foundations laid out during Part 1, this session continues our deep dive into practical mainframe productivity. We shift our focus toward automation and modern tooling, demonstrating how to bridge traditional mainframe practices with modern development environments. This session guides you in moving from manual tasks to automated execution, helping you reduce repetitive work and improve your interaction with the mainframe. (Topics covered will include useful commands and shortcuts, tips for TSO like jumping and stringing commands, creation of ISPF macros and REXX Execs, the basics of Unix/USS/OMVS, and using Visual Studio Code to simplify accessing mainframe files. Some examples include SRCHFOR, M [member], SORT MESSAGE, RESET, CUT/PASTE, etc...)
