This second hand rumor absolutely needs to be confirmed first.

*IF* that is true I would be unhappy as well. This does sounds (to me) like SHARE should get involved perhaps at the board level to let IBM know how bad of an idea it is.

I have always directed new bees to the ABCs of MVS (all 12 Volumes) as a starting point. Without identifying individuals I have it on good authority that IBM intended to stop developing the "REDBOOK" Series of publications. My contact at IBM, stated that other IBMers displayed there resentment to dis-continuing the IBM REDBOOKS series. REDBOOKs do not only affect the Mainframe, they affect all other distributed platforms. Apparently the Bean Counters at IBM only understand numbers. How does one put a $$$$$ Value on Intellectual Capital ? The Discontinuance of the REDBOOK Series has been postponed to 2011. 2010 will be the last Year for any New IBM REDBOOKS. This is a bad decision on IBMs part. You Comments ____________________________________________________________ Diet Help Cheap Diet Help Tips.
