Granted this is based on the applications that I worked on personally over the past 20 years but most of them were difficult to change, had interesting anomalies in them and were poorly documented at best. While this represents only 4 shops including one that had moved COBOL batch and CICS to HP-UX from the mainframe, I suspect that it is true elsewhere. Some of those applications have since been replaced. I suspect the help function for users in most CICS systems stinks again based on my limited experience. > >That's a straight question. > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
