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

Re: OVMS Scripting documentation (tutorials)

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

Re: OVMS Scripting documentation (tutorials)

- 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.
