This book describes the installation and usage of the Mainframe Access Product Suite.
This manual is intended for you if you need to install, configure or maintain the Mainframe Access Product Suite.
If you are using the DataConnect feature of MFA, it is assumed that you have a general understanding of the COBOL language and that you have access to the related publications described below.
Enter refers to the carriage return or Enter key. Where commands to be typed are shown, the Enter key is not explicitly shown; it is treated as implicit that Enter must be pressed at the end of the line.
Hexadecimal numbers are enclosed in quotation marks and preceded by a lower-case "x" or "h"; for example, x"9D", h"03FF". The "x" is used when the hexadecimal number represents a character string; the "h" when it represents a number.
PIC X is used with the COMP-X and COMP-5 data types rather than PIC 99. Unlike PIC 99, PIC X shows the length of the data item and so demonstrates more clearly the use of COMP-X, which is to define a binary item of the specified number of bytes.
Top headings are used to indicate environment specific information. For example:
MVS
MVS specific information.
In some environments, you may notice that what appears on your screen differs in minor ways (for example, version numbers) from the illustrations in this documentation. This does not affect the operation of your software.
