In our daily work, we often use the SRCHFOR command interactively to search for specific text within members of a PDS. For batch processing, IBM provides the ISRSUPC utility, which serves as the batch equivalent of the interactive SuperC search. When using PARM=(SRCHCMP,’ANYC’), the utility performs a case-insensitive search across…

What is an Embedding? “While ‘vectors’ and ’embeddings’ are frequently used interchangeably in machine learning, they don’t always refer to the same concept. In machine learning, models cannot directly understand raw data like text, images, or audio. Instead, they work with numbers. To make this possible, we need to transform…
