I’m pretty sure it's Friday somewhere. I once visited a mainframe shop where the only visible IBM-branded gear on the floor was a 37x5. I remember
-- Magnuson CPU (that would be a relic to come across) -- StorageTek disk and tape -- Raytheon terminals -- Some kind of Brand-X printers. They ran probably MVS/SP and clearly could not support upgrade to next OS version. This was a still-today highly respected company that was sliding along on the cheap. No idea if they're still mainframe. . .

The COBOL is to the 1974 Standard (with Extensions, including COMP-5 which allows the definition of "bits"). Various parts of "the government" have huge projects at the moment converting their old ICL systems to Microfocus COBOL on "servers". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
