Mainframe The Complete COBOL Course From Beginner To Expert

Mainframe The Complete COBOL Course From Beginner To Expert

What you’ll learn

Execute COBOL Program with confidence
Develop COBOL Programs along the way as you take the program
Build a strong knowledge base on COBOL from Scratch to Advanced level
To be able to clear the Job interviews on Cobol
Programmed to debug the program and to check for any errors for a program
Advance, boost and expand the skill set on COBOL if you have a fair understanding of COBOL
Redesign and code a Particular program in multiple ways
This course does not include VSAM.
This Course also include a section on COBOL-DB2 and I have coded some COBOL DB2 Programs as well.

Requirements

You should have a PC with internet connection
If you have a mainframe id then it will be beneficial. I have provided few free tools but they have certain limiations and you cannot practice all the commands and programs in the free tool
You should know the basics of TSO/ISPF and JCL. I have provided few basic TSO/ISPF commands and some amount of JCL as well. If you are not comfortable, you can take my courses on TSO/ISPF and JCL first before taking this course.
The Course also contains COBOL DB2 programs towards the end of the course and to code this, you should have basic idea of the DDL and DML operations in DB2.
As basics of TSO/ISPF and JCL is required. If you do not know these topics, i recommend you to enroll for my course on “Mainframe: The Complete TSO/ISPF Course from Beginner to Expert” & “Mainframe: The Complete JCL Course from Beginner to Expert”first and then take this course.
