You need to install brew, once that's done run
$ brew install git
If you have linux then you dont have to install anything for bash commands.
Theres nothing special for installation so keep on clicking next until you finish.
This is what it looks like, there will be different things installed but you only need git bash.
By default you are in the home or ~
Open up nano and copy and paste this into the text editor.
USER=
PASSWORD=
ASMCWD=$(dirname $1)
echo [$ASMCWD]
echo Logging in and starting job...
ftp -nv zos.kctr.marist.edu > $ASMCWD/out < user $USER $PASSWORD quote site filetype=jes put $1 quit EOF JOB=$(cat $ASMCWD/out | grep -oP '(JOB[0-9])\w+' | head -1) if [ -z "$JOB" ] then echo "Something terrible went wrong, and the job wasn't sumbitted right." exit else echo Job created! ID is $JOB fi sleep 2 ftp -nv zos.kctr.marist.edu >> $ASMCWD/out << EOF user $USER $PASSWORD quote site filetype=jes get $JOB delete $JOB quit EOF #cat $JOB mv $JOB $ASMCWD/$JOB cat $ASMCWD/$JOB > $1.txt rm $ASMCWD/$JOB rm $ASMCWD/out echo Done.
*if youre using linux then you need the -p flag to the ftp command, so its ftp -nvp*
You can call the file whatever you want, but heres an example name.
Submit.sh
If you dont know nano or vi, its ctrl + o to save and ctrl + x to quit.
In vi its shift + ZZ to save and quit.
Heres a GET script to get members in your PDSE.
Example name: get.sh
USER=
PASSWORD=
echo Logging in and getting file
DATASET="'*KC-ID*.csci360.assigns($1)'"
ftp -nv zos.kctr.marist.edu << EOF
user $USER $PASSWORD
get $DATASET
quit
EOF
cat $DATASET > $1.asm
rm $DATASET
*same as above, enter your credentials and replace *KC-ID* with your KC-ID
Ex. DATASET="'KC03IA2.csci360.assigns($1)'"
Or if youre in 465....
Ex. DATASET="'KC03IA2.csci465.assigns($1)'"
*same as above, linux users add the -p flag*
Feel free to change .asm to .jcl or .cob depending on your work.
cat $DATASET > $1.asm OR cat $DATASET > $1.jcl OR cat $DATASET > $1.cob
We want the .asm extension for those in 360 as vscode will immediately detect and initiate the syntax highlighting for assembler.
Finally heres the script to put whatever you have in your machine to the mainframe.
Example name: put.sh
USER=
PASSWORD=
echo Logging in and getting file
DATASET="'*KC-ID*.csci360.assigns'"
ftp -nv zos.kctr.marist.edu << EOF
user $USER $PASSWORD
cd $DATASET
put $1
quit
EOF
*same as above, replace the *kc-id* with yours and linux users add -p*
Finally, we need to give the files execution permission.
chmod +x submit.sh get.sh put.sh
Example run:
Lets say you already have a member called ASSIGN1. Open up the terminal with ctrl + shift + ~ or however you normally do.
Then type
./get.sh ASSIGN1
The file will be in the same directory as the script.
Now what if we want to run it?
Then type
./submit.sh ASSIGN1.asm
Our output is the .txt file
We can switch between tabs using ctrl + pageup or pagedown
Now everytime you submit the job, you will have your newest submission.
If you ever need the professor or your TA to look at your work, then run
./put.sh ASSIGN1
As an example, this will put your work in your PDS.
Extensions?
With these extensions you will have autocompletion, syntax highlighting.
.jcl for those in 465 and then you can enable the cobol intellisense by going on the bottom right hand corner.
