TSO/ISPF
IT Infrastructure and Networking
TSO (Time Sharing Option) and ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility) are components of IBM's z/OS mainframe operating system, providing an interactive, menu-driven terminal interface for editing datasets, submitting batch jobs, and managing files on the mainframe. TSO supplies the underlying interactive command environment, while ISPF layers a panel-based system on top for tasks like code editing, dataset utilities, and job control. It remains widely used by mainframe programmers and systems administrators at banks, insurers, and government agencies that still run COBOL/JCL-based systems.
