Are you maintaining a COBOL legacy system? If so, there's
a good chance you need to know something about IMS (or
DL/I, on a VSE system), the leading database system
before DB2 came into prominence.
And you can learn what you need to know the same way
programmers have for a dozen years, by using our DL/I
text. Although the printed edition is no longer available,
you can still get the content as
an eBook.
With all the text, illustrations, and sample code to
guide you, you'll be handling batch DL/I programs
in no time. You'll learn the COBOL elements for
working with DL/I databases, why error processing is
a must, how to use secondary indexing, how to process
logical databases or databases with logical relationships,
and a little something about coding online programs
using IMS DC or CICS (you'll need one or more of
our other books, though, to gain a complete set of DC
or CICS skills).
You'll even find out how different types of DL/I
data bases are stored and accessed, so you can program
more logically and efficiently for the type you're
working with. That's information you can't
find anywhere else!
