Hi,

At Present I am working on User account administration using RACF.
I plan to study JCL Programming and VSAM.
Any reference material, screen shot would be of a great help.
I would also request you to advice me as to how to go about and plan this study.

Thanks and regards
Ajay Mathew

Hi,

Read this.it might help u.

FOR VSAM: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246105.pdf
This book helps to demystify VSAM and gives you the information necessary to understand, evaluate, and use VSAM properly. It clarifies VSAM functions for application programmers who work with VSAM. The practical, straightforward approach should dispel much of the complexity associated with VSAM. Wherever possible an example is used to reinforce a description of a VSAM function.This IBM Redbook is intended to be used as an initial point of reference for VSAM functions.

i will tell u later if i get any good jcl links.

Best of Luck.

Bye
