Hi Chris,
I know nothing about this company/software and their claim, we're in the same
boat and I found them while researching. I haven't tried their software yet.
Here's their claim:
Z-Writer is the quick-code utility for z/OS mainframes. Its native syntax is
very similar to competing quick-code tools such as DYL-280, Easytrieve, Quikjob
and CA-Earl. If you are using one of those programs, you'll be able to run your
existing programs on Z-Writer with only minor changes.
And with our ZWDYL interface, you can actually run all your existing DYL-280
(VISION:Results) program without any changes to either the program code or the
JCL. Our ZWQUIK interface (beta) lets you do the same thing for your Quikjob
(VISION:Report) programs.
The company is called Pacific Systems Group and their website is
www.pacsys.com. Let me know if you check it out and how they work for you. I
will say I checked pricing and at least at this point in time for us, their
price isn't much less than the CA products we're looking to replace.
Rex

The site I support may soon be in the need for a load&go report writer
We would need an alternative to
Culprit
Eztrieve
Quickjob
Earl
Without any research - any other report writers come to mind?
