I wholeheartedly agree. I've been wishing for something like this for a long time. I was an operator for a couple of decades, starting with OS/390 then z/OS. A few years ago the company I work for migrated from our mainframe based platform to an IBM i based platform. I enjoy the new platform, but miss the mainframe. While working as an operator I occasionally had the chance to do a little programming - COBOL, Easytrieve, and a little Gener/OL. Towards the end I also had an opportunity to take on a few basic system programmer duties. Our last system programmer retired before our mainframe was retired. Outside of work, I learned the basics of assembler with the help of Hercules and MVS 3.8J, but have forgotten most of it. I'm looking forward to the learner's edition. We're never too old to learn. I suspect I'll feel like a fish out of water with SDSF. We used IOF where I work. -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system? One that works!
