"Sandeep is a great Instructor and the course gives a great beginning to my career on mainframes."
"I have zero experience on Mainframe. This Course starts with basics and provides relevant examples which i can apply straight away in my job. Thanks for creating such a great Course. Looking forward to other Courses from you."
"EI instructor conoce mucho acerca del tema, no es ningún improvisado. La manera de abordar los temas totalmente puntuales. Personalmente soy muy Exquisito con cursos Online y este curso lo considero muy bueno. Sugiero mejorar los subtítulos y mejorar la dicción (si se le entiende pero podría mejorar). Continuare con JCL . Saludos"
Join this course which is the best TSO/ISPF course on UDEMY. I will Code all the TSO/ISPF commands along the way.
"This the Best Seller Course on Udemy"
“There’s a reason this course is a bestseller and highest rated on Udemy...”
Want to begin your career on Mainframe with no previous coding experience and are confused on joining which course on TSO/ISPF to understand from the basics to the advanced level?
You have come to the right place. This is the most complete and in-depth Course on TSO/ISPF considered in UDEMY. If you do not believe me, Please have a look at the Course content carefully and ask a few questions from yourself.
Does a real-time expert teach the Course? I have more than 15 years of experience as an Instructor and more than 10 years of experience on Mainframe.I firmly believe that if an Instructor does not have good experience, he/she will flood the course with poor content.
Is the Course content clear and Precise? I bet you will not get better Course content than this. Please have a look at all the courses and choose wisely.
Will the Course be In-depth? The Course covers In-Depth knowledge of TSO/ISPF. The amount of Knowledge that is covered in this course is great.
How is the quality of the Content? In Mainframes, there is a lot of low-quality content which is spread throughout the internet. Be wise in choosing the course which has the best content and is presented in a good way to provide maximum output.
The Course assumes no prior knowledge of Mainframes and teaches you from absolute beginners.
Most of my students personally message me about their success with this Course. One of my students even surprised me by saying - After taking up this Course, I knew even more TSO/ISPF command than my seniors.

Syllabus
I want to thank all of you to enroll for this course on 'Master TSO/ISPF on mainframe from scratch to advanced level. This is a complete TSO/ISPF training on IBM mainframe.
By the end of this lesson, Students will be able to understand what exactly is a Mainframe and when Mainframe Computers are used
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand the types of organizations which uses Mainframe. Students will also understand why these companies uses Mainframe.
By the end of this lesson, students will understand the process background idea on how to connect to Mainframe from our local operating system.
By the end of this section, students will be able to connect to the older version of Mainframe computer which is MVS 3.8J
By the End of this lesson, students will be able to log on to a modern mainframe server using a proper IP address other than localhost. Sometimes, students might rent Mainframe server access and this lesson shows them on how to connect to that IP address.
This section provides a detailed overview to mainframe professionals about various operating systems that can be used in mainframe
Thia section explains about various programming language that can be used to interact with mainframe.They vary from c,c++, Java, pli, Cobol, assemblers and so on
TSO is called as Time sharing option and ISPF is called as Interactive System Productivity Facility.
Sequence of steps to perform a set of tasks is called a job. In mainframe, job is performed by JCL which is Job control language.once a jcl is run, the result of the job can be seen in spool(simultaneous peripheral operations online)
This section explains how we can find a set of strings and can be replaced by some other strings also. The strings can be any stings like words, characters, null value and so on.
Lets check your understanding on the course
Use the keys F7/F8/TOP/BOTTOM/F10/F11 effectively. You can give a number followed by the key to perform the operation as well. Want to see how, please refer the video
Various ways of implementing the CREATE command is shown here.
Use CREATE command to resolve the space issue. We can also use CUT/PASTE to resolve it based on your personal choice. While my personal choice is always to compress a dataset to resolve the space issue. We will cover that in next section
To compress a PDS - Give 'Z' in front of the PDS
SCROLLING OPTIONS
=================
CSR - Based on current cursor position. The line or column indicated by the cursor is moved to the top, bottom, left margin, or right margin of the screen, depending upon which scrolling command is used.
PAGE- scrolling based on one full page. One page is full login screen which is available to the user. Functional keys are not part of the page
DATA- Scroling based on One line less than page
HALF- Scrolling half of page. If we have 15 lines on a page and the scrolling option is set to 'HALF', once you press F8, 8th Line will be at the top. so it is upper interger number of the half value. In this case, it is 15/2 = 7.5. The upper integer value is 8 for this.
When you are browsing Internet, we have an option called autofill or autocomplete which means if you just type 'goo', automatically it will show 'Google.com'. If you type 'face', the browser shows 'facebook' and so on. so when we enter few letters in the address bar and the browser auto completes it with the closest guess. We have the similar option on Mainframe as well. Just type 'KEYS' and set any unused key or the key of your preference as 'AUTOTYPE'. Save and exit.
I added a list of TSO commands. It includes few commands which we already discussed and few are added later.
By the end of this article, students will understand that Z/OS has a copyright of IBM and the next lesson is for those students who have ZOS in their office or they purchased it somehow(though it is very rare due to its high cost).
In this section, students will be able to connect to Mainframe server from PC using Hercules emulator.
