Prerequisites

Experience of using z/OS, including using TSO/ISPF and submitting batch jobs. For programmers it is an advantage to have a good knowledge of either a high level (e.g. COBOL or PL/I) or a procedural language (e.g. CLISTs or REXX).

What You Will Learn

  • describe the format of machine instructions
  • demonstrate an understanding of addressing and base registers
  • explain how control sections and dummy sections are used
  • describe how to use a working set of machine instructions
  • explain the difference between machine and Assembler instructions
  • define constants and storage
  • code instructions which will perform: arithmetic, data manipulation, program control, file handling and table handling
  • explain how condition codes and masks are used
  • read dumps
  • explain how module linkage works
  • use BASSM and BSM instructions
  • understand the concepts of 31 & 64 bit addressing and its effects on existing machine instructions.
