I spent a bit of time playing with chatGPT to see what it could

You're right, Tom. That is not a program. Certainly not one that will do what

Then 3390 has broken the geometry because you have to have the
new version of NOTE/POINT to handle EAV/EAS volumes, plus PDSE
made big changes and now it is a GDG thing!

Writing/modifying Exits is not the same as your statement.

Hi folks;
It's been several months since I've received anything from
the IBM Assembler List Server. The last I knew, the list server
e-mail address was: assembler-l...@listserv.uga.edu
I think it was because it was "stolen|borrowed" from DOS/VSE....

I predict that the initial costs will be
wonderful and about 5 years out the costs will be above what was
expected with a consideration of migrating back to in house
(prem). Just based on how things went with ACS and some of its
competitors where we had entities come in and go out.

or 10(?) users may see an error message. Does that count as
an outage if the user only loses a few seconds in getting an
answer? Or a Pharmacy getting info? Or an OR getting info on drug
interactions?
Need some perspective.

The biggest problem it is said that they have is NO ONE is
teaching ALC anymore and they have lots of programs written in ALC.
So COBOL is the "political" problem because one has to know
English to program in it. You know, READ, WRITE, COMPUTE,
PERFORM, and that kind of stuff.
