:) studying on new year's eve? Looks like a new year's resolution and hope the drive stays for rest of the year!
I want to know more depth of z/TPF programs.
Flat file: I/O (using FILEC, etc), how these are stored and managed by ECB and applcation programs
TPFDF: how they are organized and stored, what are the levels in a TPFDF object, how are the records accessed (read, write, update, delete)
Didn't seem like these topics are covered in the Task Management course.
Is there a place where I can learn these z/TPF topics?

I love the content and the way this course is structured.
Anyone new to zTPF can understand the content and will greately help in the understanding of the underlying system and process.
