IBM Course Code: ES100CEThis course is designed to teach you the fundamental practical skills to navigate and work in a z/OS environment.
This includes the use of ISPF/PDF dialogs, TSO/E commands, JCL, UNIX System Services shell, and BookManager.
What You'll Learn
• Review the main concepts of z/OS
• Log on to TSO and start ISPF/PDF
• Navigate through ISPF/PDF dialogs and use the basic ISPF/PDF functions and the ISPF Editor
• Use ISPF/PDF to allocate data sets and edit data sets (including hierarchical file system (HFS) files) via the ISPF Editor primary and line commands
• Use ISPF to create and manipulate (copy, rename, delete, list, sort and merge) data sets
• Identify security considerations for Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) data sets and HFS files
• Describe and use TSO/E commands
• Perform simple modifications to existing ISPF/PDF panels
• Invoke a REXX exec and TSO CLIST
• Tailor existing JCL and submit batch jobs
• Review job status and job output using SDSF
• Invoke UNIX processes
• Manipulate HFS directories and file systems using the UNIX System Services ISHELL

I would never take another course that starts at 11AM and goes to 9PM again. The way the course was laid out really took away from the capturing of what was presented as it was 5-6 hours of watching a screen before getting to the actual labs. There has to be a better way to lay out this particular course. In my previous course, the lectures were broken up by labs which worked out fantastic and kept you engaged in the course. There were days when in order to actually complete the labs, would go over the 9PM day end time frame. Was able to get the primary labs done, but if you want to get all the content completed, you cannot complete it in the window of this course, you will need to come back on your own time.
