I was at the Poughkeepsie TDM where Don Ault gave ISVs the initial
presentation on Open MVS. That was way before Linux was ported to the
mainframe. At the time, I didn't understand the need for OMVS, but it has
turned out to be a lifesaving element that has kept our ecosystem afloat.

Ok, mayyybe. Though I'd point out that the existence of USS may have made
(probably did make) those other things easier to implement, but that doesn't
mean they were impossible without it.
And your response doesn't really address my question, I don't think?

Not to disagree but a filesystem would’ve been necessary – beyond 8-character
qualifiers and 44 characters overall.

Well, ECKD wasn’t a mistake when DASD arm movement and rotation speed were MUCH
slower and bit density so much lower than today’s devices. Minimizing arm
movement back then gave us dramatically positive application speed improvements.

The Office 365 yearly subscription is IMHO the best bang for the buck. They
allow at least 5 devices (might have been upped to 10, I don't remember now,
but my family only uses 4) with a terabyte of online cloud (OneDrive) storage
for each user.

I agree that the 8 char node and 44 char limit on DSN names needs
to be expanded. That is going to hit VTOCs and CATALOGs and JCL,
and dynamic allocation
But there is always z/OS 4.1 (kinda would match with OE, h).

More fundamentally, why the MVS designers didn't steal VAM from TSS, including
VIPAM, and why the didn't steal the idea of a Reverse Compatibility Interface

The first queston to ask yourself is: Do you really need features that
are unique to Outlook?. There are some very good email client
alternatives to Outlook, some completely free (e.g.,Thunderbird).
I have always preferred the desktop-only versions of Office to the
forced integration with MS
I use Thunderbird. I once used Evolution but ran into oddities.
Don't know if it is even supported anymore.

Well, keys can be 255 bytes. Or keep VTOC key length of 44 and store
longer name in another catalog field, Short name consists of LLQ and as
many HLQs (30+ bytes) as will fit and an 4 byte (a-z)(a-z0-9) unique

Sean,
I do not believe that restricting the use of a program to specific LPARs using
a conditional permission of WHEN(SYSID(smf-id)) requires a clean program
environment. A clean environment would be needed if you are trying to use a
conditional permission of WHEN(PROGRAM(program)) for dataset
Yes, we are aware! Saves a bit of $$$ for us. We are currently running a
half dozen zCX instances running Rocket Terminal Emulator Web, JSPWiki, IBM
Workload Scheduler Console, and will move Omegamon TEP and TEMS(when
available), plus whatever else comes along.
We are fairly silo’d here base
We use Trident Services product OS/Em to do exactly that - We can limit a user
to a max number of concurrent jobs independent of job name. I suspect that its
probably a big hammer to bring in a product to do just that one function, but
you'd get many additional benefits from using OS/EM
