If VM customers could figure out SFS, why couldn't MVS customers figure out NFS?

Not sure why not. NIH is one possible reason. "Too new-fangled for us, our programmers will never figure it out" might be another. Lack of time (under-staffing) or sheer laziness may be other possible reasons, along with "We're getting off the mainframe Real Soon Now (tm) so do nothing new there" for yet another. Along with blatant mis-trust of all things application-programmer friendly. Lawyers could be yet another reason. Fear of data breaches and the accompanying liabilities and reputation loss. Probably as many reasons as there are shops. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
