Many years ago, I spent a lot of time teaching Unisys (actually Univac -
that's how long ago it was) ECL, etc to IBM mainframe programmers. If
you can state a little more specifically what you are trying to do, I
may be able to give you some pointers.
One of the biggest differences is that the Executive Control Language
(ECL) is the same when used for batch as for time sharing (called Demand
in Unisys world). That is there is no separate JCL versus
TSO commands. And unlike JCL, ECL is executed as it comes to the
command in the run stream (AKA job stream). So there is no syntax check
right at the beginning of the job.
There are lots of differences, but a lot of the concepts are the same.
They are a lot closer to each other than any mainframe is to a Windows
PC for example.
