Hi All,
I got the job recently, and I have been put into training for Mainframes.
So i am new and i dont have idea of mainframes as i am from java background.

Actually what i want is , I want to know how can we practice at home since the company provides the connection to mainframes.

I am not able to practice at home.
If somebody knows please suggest me how to practice JCL ,COBOL at home.
What should i download , if possible share the links too.
Regards,
Jaffar Hussain

Search for Herculeus, MFCOBOL and free open source 3270 emulators.

Well, that means you did not search on the key-words, I suggested to! Those are the "free-wares" which you can use to simulate the zOS environment at your personal PC but it needs a good amount of research from your part.
