Want to generate reports from flat files (sequential, members of PDS / PDSE, VSAM, HFS files) with no programming? Fill out some lines of DFSORT control statements and you're done!
Want to generate XML or HTML from a flat file? No programming necessary: use DFSORT! Output can go to a flat file, VSAM file, member of PDS/E, or even to the HFS. Want to build records from multiple related files into a single set of records (sort of like a "flat-file join")? No SQL needed: use ICETOOL! IBM's DFSORT / ICETOOL product has grown in capability and richness over the last decade, and it has become a utility that is truly useful in making your staff productive, especially for "quick and dirty" reports. Not just for sorting, merging, and copying any more, this product has a lot of capability few people are utilizing. Now, just in time, The Trainer's Friend has come up with a solution: a new class, "Using DFSORT and ICETOOL" is a three day exploration of all the capabilities available with no programming needed! Lots of clear explanations of how things work, 20 labs with over 50 DFSORT and ICETOOL jobs to gain practical experience!
