Publisher's Synopsis
TSO/ISPF is the programmer and end-user environment. This book provides a brief background on TSO/ISPF, the IBM keyboard and family of terminals, logging on to TSO, and the main ISPF menu. It steps through the details of the one-time set-up chores every new TSO user must perform, and explains in simple terms the type of data set that functions as a library for programmer or end-user source code. The book covers in detail the actions used to compile programs, examine results online, find and correct errors, and manipulate library members. Also covered is contemporary TSO command list (CLIST) usage for computational aids and for the prompted composition and submission of end-user job control language.
