Introduction

The JZOS Toolkit consists of classes in package com.ibm.jzos, which is distributed with the IBM Java SDKs for z/OS, version 1.4 (31 bit), and 5.0 (31 and 64 bit). These classes depend on a Java Native Interface (JNI) library which is packaged with the supported IBM z/OS Java SDKs.

The JZOS toolkit classes may be used in conjunction with the JZOS Batch Launcher, but may also be used other JVM containers, including Websphere and the Unix System Services "java" command line launcher.

Key classes in the com.ibm.jzos package include:

ZFile
A thin wrapper for many of the z/OS C library I/O functions. Also includes and interface to BPXWDYN (text based interface to MVS dynamic allocation)
ZUtil
An interface various z/OS native functions, excluding I/O.
FileFactory
A class with static factory methods for building a platform-portable BufferedReader, BufferedWriter, InputStream, or OutputStream on a text file or MVS dataset.
MvsConsole
An interface to the MVS Operator console and job log
