This is an extra-credit practice assignment. Its purpose is to provide practice in using the mainframe system at Marist College.

Below you will find the text of a short job. It uses the IEBPTPCH utility to print one line saying:

What you need to do

1. Log on to the Marist system using QWS3270 using your new logon ID and the default password (which is your logon ID).

2. Change your password.

3. Exit from the Marist system.

4. Create for yourself a directory called "mar_ftp". You may put it on your network drive (H:) or on a USB drive (or somewhere else).

5. Download a copy of the mar_ftp program from the Department of Computer Science web site. Put in your mar_ftp directory. You should also download (and read) the instructions for using mar_ftp.

6. Copy the code listed below into a file named "EXTRA1.JCL" or something like that. Use a text editor to insert your own logon ID in the space marked "KC0nnnn" and to put your own name in the space marked "Your name". Put the file in your mar_ftp directory.

7. Use mar_ftp to do the following:
   1. Submit the job.

   2. List the jobs on the job queue. Your job will have a job number of the form JOB0nnnn.

   3. Fetch the output of the job.

8. Use a text editor or word processor to print the JOB0nnnn.txt file. Print it in landscape format using a monospaced font such as Courier New.

9. Turn in the printed output.

Here is the code to use

//KC0nnnnA JOB ,'Your name',MSGCLASS=U
//*
//STEP1  EXEC  PGM=IEBPTPCH
//SYSUT1   DD  *
----> This is a practice job. <----
/*
//SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
  PRINT TYPORG=PS,MAXFLDS=1
  RECORD FIELD=(80)
/*
//
