Diverting the thread a tad, does anyone know where you can do an HLASM course? My young colleague wants to be inducted into the mysteries of the ancient craft and we found various IBM courses (see below) but none of them are currently being offered. Of course, various outfits are happy to come to your shop and give one-on-one instruction, but HR won't wear the expense of that.

Somehow I got into the field with only 1 course in Numerical Analysis and Programming for Digital Computers (2 semesters) in 1961 and 1 course in Symbolic Logic. I was lucky that my company sent me to several IBM course and from 1977 to 1990 to SHARE. Should Colleges and Universities be teaching vendor specific operating systems? Should they be teaching the basic concepts of operating systems and of security?
