Walt:
I appreciate your comments/concerns. I am trying to understand if we can write in C or Metal C. I feel is not feasible at the current time. Our exits are currently in assembler. Our customer base is pretty wide, but in critical installations, Banking and Brokerage, so being cautious and careful is a understatement . My nature is careful and understand impact, design before I design or write code. Regards, Scott From: Walt Farrell Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 9:26 AM To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List My concern is that even with beta testing you might not experience issues in your test sites (especially with things that are RACF subsystem- and/or RRRSF-related) but production will eventually find some problems. Metal C can probably work, but I would be very concerned about other flavors of IBM C (especially LE-enabled) for any of those exits. I can't speak to any other vendor's C implementations, though, and I can't even say for sure that IBM's non-Metal C would definitely have problems. But I can easily envision problems that would not show up except under high-stress production situations, and that might require a complete reworking of your design to fix. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
