We have FileAid (old version). And, of course, DFSORT could probably do this. The problem is, basically a "UX" (User eXperience) one. The programmer basically wants the user to stay in Excel, be able to request the data, and _immediately_ start getting data back into the spreadsheet. And the same for updating the VSAM cluster. The programmer is a CICS & COBOL programmer which is possibly why he is looking at a CICS solution. And, really, we don't have anything else that he could use. I would likely use the z/OS web server with a CGI, but he doesn't know how to do HTML et al.
