Hi All,
Please help me to the conversion of Mainframe SAS JCL to korn Unix script. Please share the example from SAS JCL to Korn Unix Script.
It be really helpful. Please share the online source also so I can look into it.
Thanks,
Abhishek
Hi.
There is a web page that advertises mainframe to *nix conversions. Some of the codes are free, some are not: Vancouver Utilities for Unix, Linux,& Windows
I have tried some of the free codes.
I don't know how SAS JCL differs from plain JCL, but perhaps you can find something suitable there.
Good luck ... cheers, drl
It might be useful to us (and therefore garner more useful responses) if you shared what you are trying to convert. If the logic might not be clear, then a textual description of the process required might help us to understand and offer suggestions.
It would really help you you show what you have tried so far and we can highlight any issues. That way you will learn and hopefully be able to support your business in the future.
Kind regards,
Robin
As with most times we are asked for a "conversion", there isn't one... You can't just hit a button and translate from one computer language to another. It'll have to be rewritten.
True - and even more so, because JCL (Job Control Language) is not a programming language in the sense of C, ksh or similar: it is a specialised language to describe how jobs (=programs written in other languages) should be set up in their respective environment to be run on a mainframe running VM or some MVS-descendant (OS/390, z/OS, ....). It is (this is the closest approximation i can come up with) a mixture of an rc-file with a start/stop-script and some redirection along with a bit of cron-functionality.

Hi.
Maybe yes, maybe no, just sayin':
Note the dozen samples. See more at UV_Software_JCL_Conversion_Advantages
Best wishes ... cheers, drl
