Course Summary
The course explains the concepts, capabilities, and coding
for IMS Data Communications programs. Participants will
create screens and code Message Format Services (MFS)
macros to implement those screen. They will work with
COBOL programs to send/receive/process messages. Screen
attributes, message switching, and PFF key programming
is included. Testing with Batch Terminal Simulator (BTS)
and the clients tools will be included.
