IBM?
I'm pretty sure IBM is not wiling to share this information. Maybe
some companies like Gartner have some view, but they would want money
for that information.
Small piece of info:
Poland - 0,00 VSE installations. IMHO historically it was always 0.
There was one, when we helped to replace
the ODRA machines at MPK Lodz (similar to British ICL machine,
George-3 operating system, IIRC)
with a VM 4381-12 running VM (DB2, Pascal) and VSE (CICS, DB2, COBOL)
in the beginning of th 1990s. I was there two times,
1992 and 1994, to help with the installation and customization
of the machine.
Also, people say VSE is popular in UK and Germany.
Yes, indeed. VSE was IMO maintained to a large part
in the Boeblingen lab, which is 10 km from where I live.
We had it at the Stuttgart public transportation company (SSB),
which was the company which helped MPK (see above).
Stuttgart and Lodz are partner towns (jumelage in French,
don't know the English expression).
Kind regards
Bernd
