Effective July 1, 1999, Computer Based Training (CBT) on the enterprise server (mainframe) has been continued for one year only. If usage shows that CBT’s continue to be of value, we may renew the courses again next year.

There are a reduced number of course offerings. This is your opportunity to take advantage of them. The topics available are:

• Using CMS
• Using Xedit
• Basic JCL
• FOCUS - Basic and Advanced Reporting, and Reporting from DB2 Tables
• SAS - Introduction, the Language, Statistics
• VM REXX Application Programming
• C Language Programming - Introduction, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced
• DB2/SQL - Relational Data Base Overview and Working with DB2 Tables

For complete information on how to access these courses, you may:

1. Link to the Web site: VM.UCONN.EDU/~WORKSHOP/CBTHAND.HTML
2. Consult the UCC enterprise server Help file: HELP UCONN TUTORIAL
3. At the UCC Help Desk, pick up the handout: Computer Based Training

E-mail Paul Parciak at PAULP@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU and let him know if there are other courses that you may have interest in. He can also answer any questions you may have about these courses and their use.

They are a great way to learn at YOUR convenience, pace, and place. Many say they don't know about CBT"s; please share this information with your staff and give CBT’s a try!
