  • 1.  Python on z

    Posted yesterday

    Hi...

    Someone have any experience on running Python on Z?

    I want to get some ideas or resources to running Python Scripts on Z, either started via JCL and as a USS script

    Context: I'm on a zEDC PoC and need to create some code to generate data so we can analyse the impact of it on our system. However, although I have some knowledge on coding for Z on REXX and COBOL (pretty small the later), I'm more used with Python as I use it a lot on Linux on z... It would be better if I build my codes for the PoC on Python

    Any tips or resources are welcomed

    Hi Fabio,

     

    Python is available (can be installed) on Z.  It runs in the USS environment and can be used interactively or via JCL.

    "Starting point" link for more information:  https://www.ibm.com/products/open-enterprise-python-zos

     

    Cheers,
