IMS Application Development and Simplification Imagine being brand new to the mainframe and sitting down to write and test your first IMS application - ISPF, TSO, COBOL, ASCII/EBCDIC, dependent regions, deployment, message queues, etc. And somewhere in there you need to actually write a program. Learn how IBM's newest suite of Eclipse-based tools eliminates these environment barriers and give you the tools you need to be comfortable and productive on Day 1. We will present an integrated set of tools, with a common look and feel, that simplify the development life cycle of your IMS Application Program. We will demonstrate how the IMS Enterprise Suite Explorer, Rational Developer for z, IBM Debug Tool and the IMS Batch Terminal Simulator (BTS) are modernizing application development.

The Debug Tool for z/OS
• Interactive debugging for applications
• Multiple languages:
– COBOL, PL/I, C/C++, Assembler
• Multiple z/OS environments
– Batch, TSO, CICS, IMS/TM, DB2 stored procedures,
– Websphere application server, Unix system services
• GUI Eclipse plug-in at no additional cost!

BTS V4: What’s new in base BTS
• Supports IMS callout (ICAL) under BMP and JBP regions
• Supports for variable-length BTSIN data sets
• Provides new reporting features for improved analysis and
prediction of performance behavior
• APPLFE support

14. © 2014 IBM Corporation
ICAL support
• Supports IMS callout (ICAL) under BMP and JBP regions
– ICAL call enables an application program to send a synchronous
request to a non-IMS program or a service that runs in a z/OS or
distributed environment
– Request and response areas on ICAL call are traced

Variable-length BTSIN
• Supports for variable-length BTSIN data sets
– A whole data in a record is handled as a command or a transaction
data without any continuation non-blank characters though a non-blank
character in column 72 indicates continuation in a fixed format
– A developer/tester can simulate input coming from a mid tier
application using this BTSIN without worrying about existing 80 byte
length limit
– The record length in a variable format can be from 5 to 32756

16. © 2014 IBM Corporation
Report enhancements - Single output line per call
• New reporting feature by
./O DB=S MSG=S command (new
suboption S) for putting single
output line per MSG or DB call
without detail information (Key
feedback area, I/O area etc.) to
BTSOUT.
