This book is for the programmer who needs to convert a program written in TSO-CLIST to TSO-REXX in the z/OS TSO/ISPF environment. You need some familiarity with both languages in order to do a conversion.This book will show the correspondences, or lack of them, between CLIST language features and REXX language features. CLIST language features are shown on the left-hand page, with the corresponding REXX language feature on the facing, right-hand page.TSO-CLIST dates back to the beginning of TSO in 1971. It truly is a legacy language. IBM continues to support it because so many of its customers have active, functioning CLIST programs in use.CLIST language is found only in one environment, the z/OS TSO/ISPF environment. Experience programming with CLIST is not readily transferable to any other environment. The REXX language is found mostly in the z/OS TSO/ISPF environment, and in QMF, CICS, DOS/VSE, and Netview. Knowing REXX makes you more valuable to your employer.The number of programmers who can understand CLIST language is diminishing. It is a good business decision to convert CLIST programs, where possible, to REXX programs.I'm sure most programmers will remember the nightmare of having to fix a program that is so old that no one left alive knows what the program is expected to do.

In English, catch up does not mean the same thing as the words catch and up, used separately. If you know what catch means, and you know what up means, you still don't always know what catch up means. I'm talking about that kind of verb here. This book is intended for someone whose first language is not American English. My years of teaching American English to the foreign-born have taught me that many people come to the United States speaking English very well already, but they have difficulty with the English prepositional verbs that they hear in daily life or on TV, or that they read in the newspapers or on websites. There are 341 prepositional verbs explained in this book. All the verbs are in one continuous list. This will make it easier for the reader to find the verb in question. Consequently, there is no index in this book. Verbs are presented in this format: (new line) ante upin Poker, to put your money in the center area of the table (new line) [not separable] (new line) Joe, you didn't ante up.

The Second Edition contains more expressions, and clarifies some of the text. This book is written for English-speaking people who want to bring their French up to date. It's for people who know some French, and want to know and use more popular expressions, just like the French. Here are some of the 231 French expressions contained in this book: À vue de nez, Avoir des oursins dans les poches, Avoir la tête dans le guidon, Être soupe au lait, Ils en font leurs choux gras, mollo, À l'arrache, À la bonne franquette, À la fortune du pot, À plat cul, À tout bout de champ, Accro, Accroc, Accrochage, Attacher lundi avec mardi, Au compte-gouttes, Ça m'étonnerait, Ça ne s'invente pas, Canicule, Écoper d'une amende, En catimini, Être de mèche, Laissez-moi faire appel à vos lumières, Faire des pompes, Faire la poule mouillée, Garde alternée, Inconditionnels, Incontournable, Informatique en nuage, Je constate, seulement, Je l'ai oublié chez ma tante, Je m'en doutais, Je mets mon grain de sel, La ceinture de Vénus, La coqueluche du moment, Laissons le passé être le passé, L'âne de Buridan, Le cul dans le beurre, Le pactole, Migraine du froid, Miroir aux alouettes, Niche fiscale, Paradis fiscal, Passer comme une lettre à la poste, Passer en coup de vent, Pépin d'ordinateur, Perdre la boule, Picoler en douce, Pierre Paul et Jacques, Rond comme une queue de pelle, Ratissage minutieux, Rentrer bredouille, Rester casanier, Retourner dans leurs tombes, Se bécoter, Se crêper le chignon, Se faire du mouron, Se faire sonner les cloches, Se retourner dans leurs tombes, Sortir de ses gonds, Tape-cul, Tourner du chapeau, Tuer le ver, Avoir une case en moins, Vivre aux crochets de quelqu'un, Vol à l'arraché, À l'arraché, Travail de fourmi, Tourner rond, Tourner en rond, Tomber comme un couperet, Rentrer dans ses frais, Prendre la clé des champs, Some of the expressions are pure slang, others are sayings or proverbs, but all are popular French expressions that French people use all the time. Read the book, and start using them when you speak French.

COBOL may be a legacy language, but it's not dead. There are huge numbers of programs written in COBOL that are still running, and running well.There is no need to rewrite them in another language, since they are working! This book contains generic programs that illustrate major types of logic used in many business programs.It's not a book about COBOL syntax. It's the sequence of instructions that accomplish the task at hand.The programs are structured in a top-down kind of logic. The flow of control begins at the beginning, and continues in one direction only, down, using subroutine calls ("PERFORM", or "CALL") to execute procedures, and then return to the major path of program execution flow.There is such a thing as a "Spaghetti" program, in which the flow of control goes up, down, outside of the current procedure, and anywhere you can imagine. I remember those programs. They were very hard to follow and harder still to maintain. There is no logical method to analyze those programs and to understand them.This book contains logic structures that are simple and easy to understand. I used these logic structures during much of the time when I was programming.They were tested during October 2020 on an IBM mainframe computer running z/OS and Enterprise COBOL.Here are the programs: 1. SEQSIMP1. The Simple, Single File Program2. SEQRPT1. The Simple, Single File Report Program3. SEQRPT2. The Simple, Single File Report Program with Record Count or Final Totals4. SEQCK1. The Sequence Check Program5. SELECT1. The Record Selection Program6. VALID1. The Edit or Validate Program7. BRKLV1. The One Level Subtotal (Control Break) Program8. BRKLV3.

The REXX programming language includes built-in functions that simplify programming. REXX Functions let you manipulate data strings or do mathematics simply with a minimum of programming effort. This book explains 78 REXX functions that you can use in your REXX programs. This book is about z/OS TSO REXX functions. A function is a built-in feature of the REXX language. Functions are always available to you when you are writing your program. They provide an easy way to manipulate data strings or to perform arithmetic on numbers. Using functions simplifies programming and provides reliability, because the functions were created and tested by the software manufacturer (IBM.) The Index is not like most indexes that list only language features alphabetically. They are no help if you don't know the name of the language feature. This index shows the common English language name for a feature, for example, "Convert decimal number" points you to the REXX equivalent D2C. You don't have to know that D2C means "Convert decimal number to character" in order to use the index. The examples are simple and clear and will show you the different ways to invoke, or use REXX functions in a REXX program. To aid you in finding the function that you need, one chapter is devoted to listing the functions, classified by what they do. Each of the built-in functions is shown in detail with examples of use. The functions are shown alphabetically.As a bonus, I've included several supplementary chapters to make life easier for the REXX programmer: 1. How to write REXX macros.2. Compatibility Issues across platforms.3. Precedence of Operators. What REXX processes first, in complex expressions?4. How to execute TSO Commands, in Native Mode (Ready Mode) TSO, in ISPF Option 6, on the command line on ISPF panels, and in batch.5. How to specify Dataset names in TSO commands, in REXX, and CLISTs. An explanation of TSO naming conventions.6. The TSO commands that you are likely to use in your REXX programs, arranged by their function, with clear and simple examples.

Students of English as a Second Language show an intense interest in the English language, and want to know more than is commonly covered in a typical class. Students asked me questions, about how and why English is the way it is. I created lesson handouts to answer the students' questions. I've put the best 17 of those questions and answers in this book. This is not a complete ESL textbook. It is a supplement to any class that is being taught. It does not have to be used in a classroom. It will answer the questions of students who are not enrolled in a class of English as a Second Language. This book is currently being used in ESL classes taught by the author. Here are the 17 questions that students asked me: What's the Difference Between "A" and "One"? What's the Difference Between "Make" and "Do"? What's the Difference Between "Some" and "Any"? What's the Difference Between "Say" and "Tell"? How do you Use the Prepositions of Place and Time At, In, and On? What's the Difference Between Can, Could, May and Might? What's the Difference Between Either, Neither, Or, and Nor? What are all the Meanings of GET in English? What Verbs are Followed by the Gerund (-ING)? What Verbs are Followed by the Infinitive (TO)? What Verbs are Followed by Either (-ING) or (TO)? What Verbs are Followed by Neither (-ING) nor (TO)? How do You Go from Noun to Verb by Shifting the Stress Accent? How do You Go from Noun to Verb by Changing the Sound of "S"? How do You Go from Noun to Verb by Changing the Vowel Sound? How Do You Pronounce the Simple Past Tense? The Sound of "ED" What are the Irregular Verbs?
