    Assignment-1.

    1.What is Mainframes? Explain features of Mainframes?

    Mainframes are high-performance computers with large amounts of memory and processors that
    process billions of simple calculations and transactions in real time.

     mainframe has greatest processing capacity


     Reliability, availability, and serviceability
     ability to run multiple operating systems

    2.Write 5 differences between batch and Online applications.

    An Batch processing system handles large amounts of data which processed on a routine schedule.
    Processing occurs when the after the economic event occurs and recorded. It requires fewer
    programming, hardware, and training resources. In this system programs are scheduled through jobs. It
    allows sharing of programs and files.

    An online processing system handles transactions in real time and provides the output instantly. When
    any economic event takes place then the processing occurs. It requires more number of dedicated
    hardware resources, processing elements are required. In this system programs are initiated through
    transactions. It does not allow sharing of programs and files.

    3.What is Cobol, JCL, DB2, VSAM (write 5 lines for each).

    COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a high-level programming language for business


    applications. It was the first popular language designed to be operating system-agnostic and is still in use
    in many financial and business applications today. COBOL was designed for business computer programs
    in industries such as finance and human resources.

    Job Control Language (JCL) is the command language of Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS), which is the
    commonly used Operating System in the IBM Mainframe computers. JCL identifies the program to be
    executed, the inputs that are required and location of the input/output and informs the Operating
    System through Job control Statements.

    DB2 is a database product from IBM. It is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). DB2 is
    designed to store, analyze and retrieve the data efficiently. DB2 product is extended with the support of
    Object-Oriented features and non-relational structures with XML.

    VSAM stands for Virtual Storage Access Method. VSAM is a file storage access method used in MVS, ZOS
    and OS/390 operating systems. It is a high performance access method used to organize data in form of
    files in Mainframes. VSAM is used by COBOL and CICS in Mainframes to store and retrieve data. VSAM
    makes it easier for application programs to execute an input-output operation.

    4.What is ISPF, TSO (write 5 lines for each).


    Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) is a software product for the z/OS operating system that
    runs on IBM mainframes. It includes a screen editor, the user interface of which was emulated by some
    microcomputer editors sold commercially starting in the late 1980s, including SPFPC.

    Time Sharing Option (TSO) is an interactive time-sharing environment for IBM mainframe operating
    systems, including OS/360 MVT, OS/VS2 (SVS), MVS, OS/390, and z/OS. TSO interacts with users in
    either a line-by-line mode or in a full screen, menu-driven mode.

    How to submit assignment.

    1.Code screen shot

    2.Output screenshot

    3.Explain each line of code.

    Use https://paiza.io/projects/jTcMAuzxy1tAIOIuywF0bQ?language=cobol

    For cobol coding.
