The Punctilious Programmer IBM Mainframe Assembler Datasets for the COBOL Course

Datasets for the COBOL Course

I have added a tab (Course Datasets) at the top of the blog to help provide input data for the programs referenced in the COBOL course.

In the case of input files that contain packed data, I am including a COBOL program that will produce the input file when you run it. Each COBOL program takes its own data from an in-stream dataset. I’m including the COBOL code and the JCL surrounding it to make things easier. You will have to adjust the file names.

In the case textual data files, I’m including a copy of the input data which you can paste into a member in a PDS to create the input file.

Let me know if I can help.
