Programming with PL/1

Case Training
Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, London, United Kingdom

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' The course is aimed at developers’ not familiar PL/1 program development. This course covers all aspects of Programming with PL/1. The course teaches the design, writing and testing of PL/1 programs. Many exercises are performed by the developer to ensure that the statements taught are fully understood and practical experience is gained.

This course can be compressed if the student only requires basic knowledge (for example - to use an Applications Generator).

Pre-requisites
Knowledge of TSO/ISPF and JCL is required. This can be gained by attending course BT02.

Course Objectives
Whilst covering the basics of PL/1 programming and how it is used, this course also aims to give an insight into structuring PL/1 programs, PL/1 statements, manipulating data, and testing PL/1 programs. On completion of this course the student will be able to:

Develop Structured PL/1 Programs
Understand and Use PL/1 Statements
Develop PL/1 programs using the available statements
Develop and Test PL/1 print programs
Develop and Test PL/1 programs accessing different types of files
Course Environment
Development will be performed using:

IBM Mainframe
