The TS is doing me a favour. He is giving me an excuse to start boozing
early. |

Since you have opened two posts, I must reply to both - a minor hassle:
You seem to be attempting to write/learn COBOL and JCL on the fly.
Seriously - my rec is that you take an actual class (or 2 (or 3 ...)) with a human instructor.
Your errors above (both posts) are very elemental. Linking the file name in COBOL to the dataset in the JCL is covered early in any intro class.
This may be too complicated to learn otherwise.
Good luck. |

Yes I am learning COBOL, JCL as I am in a Mainframe project.Here I am getting no human assistance.Frankly speaking my peer tell me to find errors,abends in google and then correct them.They say this is the way you will learn.I am following there instructions. If anyone is disturbed I am sorry,I am just trying to learn things. |

the two related topics being discussed lately do not tackle a quick and dirty solution of an issue
but are due to insufficient training and lack of the expected in house support
replying / sharing OUR hardly earned skills on a forum is
on our time, our equipment
free of charge
a forum is not a substitute for the services that should be provided in house
and it' s wrong to expect people to give free consultancy/training to companies
who as in Your case have the standard of not providing them |

Your peers are idiots, or is it morons, or is it imbeciles? I can never remember which is which anymore.
Their method may get you by a particular sticky issue in a pinch, but if you want to learn for a career, then start at the beginning.
Would you hire a carpenter to build a house if his peers told him what yours tell you? How about a doctor? Any other occupation? |

Morons have IQs of 51-75; imbeciles of 26-50; and idiots of 0-25.
Whilst I won't conduct a spirited defense of Ankoo's cow-orkers, I will go so far as to suggest that when they told him to Google the nature of and fixes for his errors, they did not mean, "Find a mainframe help forum and demand that the experts posting there spoon-feed you the answers". |

Actually, in my opinion (been programming since '64), that would have been better advice than the duct tape version that we presume they gave him.
Thanks also, for the IQ definitions.
I am now willing to call them idiots. |
