Kausar,

Mark IV language is now known as Vision:BUILDER. It is now owned by Computer Associates. You can find more info about it here

http://ca.com/products/vision_builder_pd.htm

CA manuals are copyrighted and are not available online. If you are a registred user then you can use their esupport portal and access the manuals.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kausar,

Best recommendation = don't bother even wanting to learn MarkIV. It is a useless "white elephant" skill hardly used by anyone. I only know of 3 + 1 sites worldwide that use it, and 3 of them are all Oil companies (Esso, Shell, and one other), and even then - they have either got rid of it or are in the process of doing so. At Shell, they used it to build their (legacy now) online system, however because it was not capable of delivering full functionality, it had to be supplemented by a couple of CICS programs.

Kolusu,

Most, but not all, of CA's manuals can be freely downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.ca.com/pub/

However, the VisionBuilder manuals do not seem to be there.

Cheers.

Mike.
