I have a collection of links pertaining to DCL and online VMS Training. The list is in the attached HTML file.

Also the CCSS Corporation is advertising Free VMS Training here...

Hi Taulant,
welcome to vms forum :-)
You can find any information about vms here and if you need some specific information post again.

VMS scripting language is DCL; you read HP documentation about this.
The VMS User Guide
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/731FINAL/6489/6489PRO.HTML
DCL dictionary contains details of commands
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732FINAL/9996/9996PRO.HTML
Don't forget HELP command is very useful when you are using vms.
You can see and download a collection of scripting file from here http://dcl.openvms.org/
Here can find some hints and book

- This forum has several sample scripts.
- www.openvms.org has more
- your vms systems: dir sys$startup:*.com
- The VMS freeware site

- "the book":
Title: Writing Real Programs in DCL, Second Edition
Authors: Paul C. Anagnostopoulos and Steve Hoffman
Publisher: http://www.bh.com/digitalpress ISBN 1-55558-191-9

- Everbody / anybody working with VMS should learn DCL basics.
But for scripting they should also concider PERL.

Regards,
Hein.
