A must for the novice a reference for the initiated; xlnt

The text takes a confusing, subject and gives order and a sense of simplicity in its systematic and progressive approach. The plethora of examples contain step-by-step explanations and build upon the books previous lessons. Though the style is not tutorial you do have a sense that the authors are taking you by the hand and guiding you to JCL mastery. This book could well substitute for a semester of JCL in college.
