Overview This intensive, five-day, hands-on course has been designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Db2 for z/OS Structured
Query Language and how it is embedded in application programs. Throughout the course reference will be made to best practices to ensure that the SQL
and application programs will run efficiently and effectively.<br>This course is suitable for software developers and programmers working in Db2 for z/OS
environments.<br><br>This course is also available for one-company, on-site presentations and for live presentation over the Internet, via the Virtual
Classroom Environment service.
Prerequisites
Attendees must be familiar with a major application programming language, e.g. COBOL, PL/I or Assembler. Previous exposure to the z/OS
environment and the ability to use TSO/ISPF and JCL would also be a big advantage.
