3n7r0pY··on What Happens When You Mix Java with a 1960 IBM Mainframe
The notion of waiting ages for programs to compile or assemble is mostly related to the older hardware.

I compile/assemble COBOL and IBM's assembly language on a z13 daily and it's pretty much instantaneous.

3n7r0pY··on Ask HN: What “old” programming languages will you still be using in 2017?
Most of what I've learned has been from examples from co-workers, but I've also used the IBM knowledge center and the IBM "Redbooks".

I think the Redbook titled z/OS Basics has some JCL examples and exercises in it.

I also found this through a quick search: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/zosbasics/com.ibm...

IBM's High-Level Assembler and JCL mostly.

I develop mainframe software.
