Flexible, easy-to-use application development tools
IBM® File Manager for z/OS® provides flexible, user-friendly tools for enhanced file processing when working with z/OS data sets, DB2®, CICS, IMS™ or WebSphere® MQ data of the IBM Determination Tools suite. File Manager extends the standard browse, edit, copy, batch and print utilities of Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) to help developers work with that structured data more efficiently.
File Manager for z/OS:
- Has extensive editing, browsing and batch and interactive capabilities that support development and production.
- Finds, copies, edits, prints, compares and displays data quickly and easily.
- Helps users manipulate data using COBOL and PL/I record layouts interactively or in batch.
- Enhances usability by enabling customization of which fields to display, copy or print.
- Offers templates that provide a particular interpretation of a data set, defining a logical view that you can use to view and manipulate the data in records as discrete fields.

IBM knows of no reason File Manager for z/OS V12.1 will not work with certain earlier, unsupported IBM software products, specifically: IBM z/OS V1.9 or V1.10 (5694-A01) C/C++ Element of IBM OS/390 V2.10 (5647-A01) C/C++ Element of IBM z/OS V1.9 or V1.10 (5694-A01) CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V1.3 (5655-147) CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V2.2 or V2.3 (5697-E93) COBOL for OS/390 and VM V2.2 (5648-A25) Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V3.1 through V3.3 (5655-G53) DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 V7 (5675-DB2) DB2 UDB for z/OS V8 (5625-DB2) High Level Assembler/MVS & VM & VSE, V1.5 (5696-234) IMS V8 (5655-C56) IMS V9 (5635-J38) OS PL/I V2.1, V2.2, or V2.3 (5668-909, 5668-910), with limitations PL/I for MVS and VM V1.1.1 (5688-235) VisualAge® PL/I for OS/390 V2 (5655-B22) Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V3.1 through V3.8 (5655-H31) WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6.0.1 (5655-N01) IBM will undertake to fix problems found running File Manager for z/OS V12.1 with the above-mentioned earlier, unsupported product levels. IBM must be able to reproduce the problem using a supported level of the same product. If the problem can be reproduced and fixed, the fix will be developed and tested using supported levels of IBM software. If a fix is made available, it is likely to work on the unsupported product level, however, IBM can not guarantee that the fix will work with the unsupported product. |
File Manager for z/OS V12.1 will run on any hardware configuration supported by these licensed programs |
