Hi John, In connection with your query about what installations may use for documentation have you considered the mainframe's WEB Server capability?
The choices are direct HTTP Server, or the use of CICS to delivery static content. The latter offer scope for HTML documents to be stored in either UNIX files (HFS or ZFS) or PDSEs. A little over 10 years ago the company I worked for needed an International Quality accreditation, and one of the criteria was to ensure that everybody had access to up to date documentation. At the time, using the HTTP Server in OS/390 gave us an eminently suitable vehicle, as everybody had a WEB browser, and we then only needed to maintain a central copy of the documentation, accessible from our 30 people centres. I accept that this concept crosses boundaries in respect of which department is responsible for what, and hence may be a political non-starter.
