for the ones following the IBM free training in COBOL, on 1:30 "lets create a new profile" you have to go to the left on VS code and click on the Z icon , and you are going to be able to set a new profile, then do as explained on the video, and finish on Lab 1 Guide for IBM
Initially I was struggling to understand what is going on...blur...new to these kind of things. We are old man from the era of 3270 screens. And to learn VScode and Zowe is something new to us dinosaurs. Good to have this kind of introductory step by step video and IBM to collaborate giving free Cobol courses. Thumbs up! 👍
Exactly. I have to wonder what the point of this is. If you have a username and password on a mainframe running z/OS then are you're probably not trying to teach yourself how to use zowe explorer...
when I select the "+" icon next to Data sets, I do not get a drop down to create a prifile. the zowe function for hovering over content doesnt seem to be working either. Id love some help if your able.

I feel like working with the 3270 was so much easier. Setting this up is a lot of hassle.
Neat! Now I need a mainframe to connect to.
