 At what level is this text written? January 2, 2001
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
My favorite JCL books were those by Mani Carsthanassis, `Expert MVS/(ESA and XA) JCL. Unfortunately these were published in 1991 and 1989 and do not contain features introduced since then.I found that these books fully explained whatever topic I had occasion to need to refer to a book for. They somehow get to the necessary level of detail but are very readable to anyone who already has reasonable knowledge of JCL. They were not written for beginners or students, they were written for people with relevant working experience. Many books spend quite a bit of time on the material which one could readily ask the person sitting at the next workstation, but omit to explain the more complex items. Can anyone tell me whether this text is more of a college text, and if so is there a current text which is intended for people with significant jcl experience? I invite comments from readers, the author, or other authors; directed to Bernard768 @ Hotmail.com, Thanks.

This is one book that I would not want to have to do without. Worth every cent, an excellent resource for sample code, utility programs, and infromation. Doug Lowe has a very good style that makes it easy to learn. One of my best buys!

An excellent JCL book for beginners and to use as a reference. This is one of the 2 definitive up-to-date JCL books (the other being Gary Deward Browns book). Good explanations of mainframe concepts as well.
A great introductory JCL text. March 10, 1999

Doug Lowe does it again! This book is perfect for those with little to no JCL experience. Easy to read and full of examples and complete descriptions of what is going on, this book is a true find. It worked for me.
A must for beginners in MVS JCL February 27, 1999

First of all, in response to the review by a fellow from India dated January 1999, this book's primary aim is to learn the basics of MVS JCL and does not cover SYNCSORT's sum,inrec,etc commands. Anyway, I highly recommend this book to novice who wants to learn and enhance their knowledge about MVS JCL.
