Most mainframe shops own File/AID??? I didn't know that, but I do know mine does not.
As much as our Compuware reps (who I like and respect) would like to have us replace Easytrieve with File/Aid, the programmers here who have worked with both report that it is *not* a no-brainer, for many of the reasons Paul Peplinski noted in another post. As the OP of this thread, I'm surprised to see it awaken after a couple of weeks of inactivity, but I'll take this opportunity to thank those who have contacted me offline to share their experiences. It has been most helpful. Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith co. >On Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:26:44 +0000, simone redstock wrote: >Most mainframe shops own File/AID.
