CICS COBOL Programming Tutorial: The Basics (MVS/ESA, OS/390, z/OS)

[@berndkahlau9770]

& The last time I programmed in COBOL was in the late 80s on Siemens BS3000

Thank you! Explaining the cicsa member was the best for real It was already set up for me and I could use CEDA to define the transaction, programs, and maps. But I really needed to know exactly what that CICSA member did in all of its data definitions.

Yeah, if you add arbitrary files there, you can open them and access them normally, but, there's lots of considerations there -- I'll cover those when I talk about file access soon.

It's interesting how your setup involves application programming and system programming all in one I was a consultant 25 years and never did half of the things I just saw you do😂 great video really enjoyed it

I last used CICS 29 years ago and it is amazing to see that the "methodology" had hardly changed a bit. That is - The (very crude and ridiculously pedantic) 'Basic Mapping support' from the 1980's is almost unchanged and the general procedure to create a Cobol CICS transaction and program is hardly improved either. Using the "generic Hello World" example is stupefyingly over simplified (for ANY environment/language, not just the CICS ecosystem). If I had still been 'in the mix' for 29 more years, we would be so much more advanced, we would have already been in the stratosphere! Are there people really still using these inefficient procedures today?

Almost made to minute 5 :/

It's like you're just talking to yourself, like there's no one else here. Too bad because you obviously know your stuff, and i was hoping to learn something

I fully agree. I was absolutely running through this video; the video was designed to be a "stop-and-go" kinda thing, where the viewer judiciously uses the space bar to watch a bit, do a bit, watch a bit, so on and so forth. I gotta slow the heck down!

[@durgasreepadh1475]

what are u doing bruh its intresting i wan to do it 🙂

[@lyntonblair9016]

too bad about the background noise, I can't watch

[@hs-tc]

push M then push C on the video player

[@robertsmith5805]

dude!.....kill the music!....it's annoying!....

[@hs-tc]

I think this video has the loudest music ever... I did it on the fly with VU meters on a mixer from the 60s and the friggin meters were wrong!
