Well, sometimes as a dwarf, or even as an elf, but NEVER as an Hobbist .....oh wait, never mind

Why am I giggling? I had one of our programmer's ask me about z390, both COBOL and CICS. We _are_ getting off of z/OS. But a "sticking point" (PITA) is the COBOL and CICS code (somehow). We had planned on using Microfocus for our needs. I have heard that management is now in "sticker shock" mode and looking for "something else" which could be used but does not cost as much. By "not cost as much", I really mean "costs less than a Starbucks latte". OK, I'm getting tacky again. -- Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted.
