Re: Mainframe infrstructure learnings.
Make friends with people in those groups and learn from chatting with them. Read overviews, manuals. When a vacancy comes up - apply. You don't need a certificate - you should be given training by your employers. They know that you are transferring without the fully-fledged skills but the fact that ...

Re: Some changes in the looks.
I did look - it was not there. It is now but I have not tested it - have to wait until there is a post in a forum that I do not read - "count to a million", "where did you find us", "it news" etc

Re: Some changes in the looks.
Before the change it was possible to mark all forums read from a link on the index page. This has disappeared which means that I now have to visit each forum in question to mark it read. Can that link be resored to the index page, please?

Why F3 (usually the end key) instead of Enter (usually process the command)?

You could have found the answer by using fewer keystrokes than you used to ask the question. Google 'literal pool cobol'.What is literal pool?

Re: Assembler Language Programming for IBM z System Servers
The download page shows it as 0 bytes instead of 3.5mb. It also shows it as a zip file (and it cannot be opened in Win 10).

It might help if you show what you have done so far so that someone can point out where you have gone wrong or what step(s) you have missed.

Re: Are SORT FIELDS=COPY and OPTION COPY same?
Is there a reason not to use IEBGENER? ICEGENER has a performance advantage, so I understand, but that would probably only be apparent when dealing with very large amounts of data. But IEBGENER has been the principle copy program for sequential data sets around the world for 50 years.

Re: Are SORT FIELDS=COPY and OPTION COPY same?
OK. Works now but... files should be data sets. Under zOS and its predecessors data is kept in data sets hence DSN= (or DSNAME=). And for a straight copy job IEBGENER or ICEGENER should be used. I believe DFSORT will invoke ICEGENER anyway for that sort of copy but why not give a little assist to th...
