Yes, I could do that, I suppose. I'm a bit lazy. Also, my manager dislikes non-vendor stuff because "who's going to support it if you leave?" Which is now hilarious to me. Why? Because we are now running unsupported software and we're having problems with it. Since we don't have source code, being a vendor product, we can't fix it at all. So in one case I'm converting about 2000 VSAM datasets. The product runs well on 1.10, but fails on 1.12, so 1.12 conversion is delayed. In another case, a Windows product is producing graphs and they are wrong. We have nobody here who knows the product and no support. Why is it in z/OS Tech Services domain? I don't know. Our response to the users of the graphs: "Too bad. We don't know the product. We can't get support or training because it's not in the budget."
