Just my $0.01 (not worth $0.02). These developers who want/need access to z/OS and don't want to learn how to work with z/OS, don't they learn new things all the time - new IDE's, different operating systems (windows, macos, flavors of linux, unix, ...)? IMHO it is easier to learn the TSO/ISPF interface than some of the distributed interfaces (which change in small to large ways with upgrades). Just my curmudgeonly opinion after struggling with some challenges with using VSCode last weekend.

We have the common struggle of dealing with non-mainframe developers accessing z/OS (programs, jobs, DB2) and an attitude that we need to leave the mainframe. In trying to leverage our z/OS environment, might ZOWE (and the required zOSMF) provide a better transition and/or "access" to z/OS "processes"? We do not have zOSMF and ZOWE implemented. I was wondering if it may be worth while to do so. I hope my question makes sense. thanks Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
