IBM should be in the forefront of providing training to their employees (and they used to, many years ago) but they are being driven by the bean counters and not real managers. There will be a price to pay down the road, but everyone is just focused on this quarter. Ugh. Well, here are a few websites, in no particular order, that might have information you can use: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/zfavorites/ http://www.mainframeforum.com/index.php http://www.mainframes.com/index.htm http://planetmvs.com/ http://gsf-soft.com/ and, maybe to help convince management of the value of training: http://www.trainersfriend.com/Convincing.html Good luck. > > > > From: "Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)" <shmuel+...@patriot.net> > To: IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu, > Date: 09/23/2012 09:23 AM > Subject: Re: z/os mount command > Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu> > > > > In > <ce3ffbb7e42033469ef752a1d8a19ba10216f...@kl1221tc.cs.ad.klmcorp.net>, > on 09/20/2012 > at 08:48 AM, "Vernooij, CP - SPLXM" <kees.verno...@klm.com> said: > >> Yes, from the MVS Basic course: there are 3 ways to create an Address >> Space: START, LOGON and MOUNT. > > There's been an internal address space create service since day one. > >> Later, some internal services could do so too. > > APPC, like LOGON, MOUNT and START, used JCL. > >> So, like there is no JCL for START, there is none for MOUNT >> either. > > Huh?
