DYL-280(VISION:RESULTS) Software

DYL-280(VISION:RESULTS) is an information management and report generation system for IBM mainframe enterprise environments. It is a non procedural language which utilizes commands and keywords and serves as an extension to the on-line and batch systems. IBM mainframe COBOL installations use DYL-280:Results as a complement to the COBOL language.

The role and advantages associated with DYL-280(VISION:RESULTS) are:

  • Accessing, retrieving, updating, and reporting on data from files and databases.
  • Converting enterprise server data to data formats for business software.
  • Streamlined testing procedures through automatic error analysis and cross-reference.
  • Support for the IBM LE: Language Environment.
    • CALL subroutines can be written in COBOL, C, PL/1, FORTRAN, and Assembler.
    • CALLs can be made to CEEDATE and CEEDAYS.

CA DYL-280(VISION:Results) also is used with companion software to access and audit databases: DB2, IMS, and IDMS.
 

SYS-ED Experience - DYL-280(VISION:RESULTS) Training

Since 1980, SYS-ED has been helping organizations address their staffing requirements with DYL-280 and the Computer Associates family of mainframe software.

Computer Associates Software Functionality
CA-DYL-280(VISION:Results) Information management and report generator tool that utilizes an English-like programming language to retrieve, manipulate, and format data. It supports IBM mainframe file structures, databases, and access methods, and provides comprehensive data selection, analysis, and file handling capabilities.
CA-Endevor SCM Categorizes and protects software assets by helping to establish software lifecycle procedures which conform to an organization’s operational requirements. It provides an inventory of the component software environment across development groups and heterogeneous platforms. CA-Endevor SCM is used to drive the production turnover process by verifying approvals, recording changes, and executing a change package.
CA-Easytrieve Plus Mainframe report generator which is used to search tables and files,  edit data selectively, read and write both fixed length and variable length datasets. It can use complex logic and perform multifaceted tasks. Easytrieve Plus is used to create visually appealing reports.

When there is a challenging or non-standard DYL-280 training assignment, our staff of system consultants get requests directly from CA to provide the training; case in point: "The Before", "The After", and the student evaluations. Few independent training companies offer the range and multiple levels of specialized and interrelated mainframe programmer productivity tools and development utilities courses that we do.


SYS-ED's staff and CETi Technology Partners are experts on CA-DYL-280( and average 30 years experience in legacy mainframe programming languages and system software. This been there done that consultancy experience provides us with a privileged perspective from which to teach the industry standard subject matter and provide invaluable performance guidelines. We refer it to as educational consultancy and it makes all the difference in the world in maintenance programming and training the next generation of mainframe programmers. And truth to be told, our staff has been called on by major software companies to train their clients and software developers.

If you’re shop is utilizing a combination of mainframe utilities and development tools from the Big 3: Computer Associates, Compuware, and IBM, then integrated workshops and examples will make a major significance in training your next generation of mainframe programmers. They will learn not just how to perform tasks specific to the product; but will receive a foundation in the underlying structure of the systems software and how all the pieces fit and work together. Additional workshops can be selected from the CETi courseware library.

SYS-ED does not sell software; we only teach!  And towards this end, we apply the full complement of training medium to help IT professionals learn. In our DYL-280 (VISION:RESULTS) courses, students learn by doing; one-third of their class time will be spent using DYL-280 and maintaining programs on our z/OS systems. Each student receives a comprehensive hand-out and tailored training aid. After a course is over, clients are welcome to ask the inevitable questions which come up back on the job.

SYS-ED mainframe utilities and development tools courseware and training aids extend the source documentation and incorporate an examination of the underlying architecture, program logic, and sample programs which have been validated on consulting projects. In our opinion, when there is a scarcity of up to date industry standard textbooks, courseware which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to an effective learning experience.

Upon completion of a SYS-ED instructor-led course at the client location, it is standard policy to organize content for future utilization in a web-based training infrastructure.

Yes, We Still Offer Mainframe Training!

Portfolio of Mainframe Training Services

   
We have had a number of inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED still offered DYL-280 courses and mainframe utilities and development tools training for mainframe programmers.
   
The typical comments were:
1. That it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to find open enrollment DYL-280 and mainframe utilities and development tools training for mainframe programmers.
2. That there is a scarcity of intensive 2- and 3- day courses which provide hands-on experience and the skillset for dataset management on z/OS systems.
3. That a high percentage of open enrollment DYL-280 courses are cancelled.
4. That travel costs and living expenses in a majority of situations are a significant constraint when it comes to attending a DYL-280 course.
5. That it is important to have a resource for asking DYL-280 questions once the programming language course is complete.
   
In response we say:
DYL-280 Training Services Yes, SYS-ED offers multiple levels of mainframe utilities and development tools training for the IBM mainframe environment: DYL-280, Endevor, InterTest, File-AID Family, Xpediter, Syncsort, and ChangeMan.

Courseware as a Learning Center


Caveat Emptor
Prior to scheduling a mainframe development tools and utilities tools from Computer Associates, Compuware, or IBM, compare the quality of the training service that SYS-ED offers:

SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly.

Mainframe Training in New York

Mainframe Courses in New York
SYS-ED's mainframe courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging hands-on mainframe training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their mainframe staffing requirements and acquire specialized mainframe skillsets.1  Mainframe utilities and development tools courses at the present time are only offered at client locations.

Courseware
SYS-ED's mainframe utilities and development tools courseware is highly respected. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs, and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach the real-world mainframe information technology. Our mainframe curricula include industry standard and consultancy derived content. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops and integrated training programs on z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, and third party emulation workbench platforms.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software companies or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide world class mainframe training for motivated IT professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our instructors average 30 years of experience in the mainframe environment - operating systems, programming languages, 3rd party utilities and development aids, and system software. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced subject matter. After a course, they are available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED Mainframe Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED mainframe course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is only allowed to register if they have the background corresponding to the appropriate learning path.

Mainframe Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED mainframe courses are held at our training center in New York City and in conjunction with Technology Partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored mainframe training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site mainframe courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the mainframe training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.


Technology Exchange Websites

SYS-ED websites compile, organize, and present software specific and established operational categorizations of information technology. They provide a framework for assessing knowledge transfer in a variety of delivery formats: web-based training, classroom instruction, technology updates, courseware, training aids, learning paths, and validation assessment.
