Mainframe Navigation allows you to access and manipulate objects stored on a mainframe from a Windows application. These objects include datasets and files, members and elements, load modules, as well as system objects such as active jobs or the console under the z/OS, z/VSE and BS2000 operating systems. With Mainframe Navigation, the objects are displayed in a tree structure and can be listed, browsed and edited with a Windows-like user interface. On the mainframe server, Mainframe Navigation is supported by Natural ISPF.
