Oh that makes sense. A few days ago, people were posting about how they found IBM's assembler code from CICS or something very useful for their own learning advancement.
At the time, there were vendors and allowing just visibility to source code would have been like leaving the room with their core mainframe secrets unlocked. Now I hope that's less of a problem as there are only the big guns in town. Also hope they're moving to C++ (or other LLVM-based) anyway for new zOS products. - KB ------- Original Message ------- On Friday, November 18th, 2022 at 9:14 PM, David Spiegel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi KB, > OCO=Object Code Only > That is, IBM's 1983 unintelligent decision to stop supplying Source Code. > Yet, schizophrenically, they support Open Source.
