About 4 years ago, we replaced ABENDAID for MVS & CICS, FILEAID & XPEDITER with SymDump Batch & CICS, File Master Plus & Intertest Batch. We already had Intertest CICS.
We survived. Only the true application 'techies' complained mostly about SymDump, both types. But, using the CA Products saved us $300,000. I have yet to hear $300,000 worth of complaints. File Master Plus and Fileaid are almost equivalent. Programmers do not like setting up an environment for Intertest Batch. So, it is rarely used. As was XPEDITER. A caveat - SymDump batch does not 'debug' authorized Assembler code. This requires an additional SymDump product called SymDump System (I think that was the name). We didn't get it because it was hard to justify for only one programmer who did this kind of programming - me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
