Hi,

I was working in an AS400 assignment for about 3 years and now i am into a Mainframe project..i have very limited knowledge on mainframes and have just started learning the technology.
I would like to know the similarities and differences between as400 and mainframes. I think this would help me understand mainframes quickly.I am not more concerned about the architecture of the systems but only on the application development.
Can someone please guide.

My .2 cents on this.

We have similar programming structure on both AS/400 and Mainframes.

Code: Select all

 AS/400           Mainframes
 CL/400           JCL
 COBOL/400    COBOL
  DB2/400       DB2

Only place you may need to focus for learning is JCL on mainframe.

I was thinking the same thing. From a development point-of-view, wouldn't the core disciplines be about the same regardless of actual hardware and OS used?
