Does anyone know of any good resources for learning basics of JCL, datasets, jobs, the z/OS Host and so on? I find that when I look at the screens of my mainframe colleagues, the COBOL code is actually the only thing I can wrap my head around, as opposed to all the weird mainframe tools built around it.
