Re: zOSMF

The real problem, as I see it, is that drag and drop interfaces move you away from the need to know what you are doing. A long time ago, the first MVS install that I did on my own, took me a few months to do it. I was doing it under VM/XA and I did a few complete back to square one at the time, as

Re: zOSMF

Would it help if we moved to standard configurations? With ADCD environment you unzip files to get the 3390 images. You get working system out if the box, and SMP/e environment. This looks like a good way to go and may fit many people's requirements. This takes away a lot of the complexity, and

Are there samples of COBOL methods or classes?

Hi, While working on the earlier problems I had, I ran into the concepts of COBOL Methods and Classes, and understand they can be used for Java in addition to regular COBOL programs. The documentation does not explain the "why" behind these or the "how" and "what", so I wonder if anyone has any

Thank you for this posting. It brings up a question that I've had since a problem with getting z/OS 1.6 installed... Back when I did do z/OS sys-programming, you had to have a driving system (at a specific level or above) to install z/OS So we are the ABCZ company and we have decided to g
