My favorite and most used tool from Gilbert was BR which allows for browsing VSAM files in ISPF.
When we started using extended format VSAM, the tool starting having problems that I can't recall specifically. I had sent an email to my staff that this function would no longer be available, but also emailed Gilbert. He actually responded and, after a little back and forth, fixed it. I was not expecting that, but was very grateful. I always thought IBM should have paid him for it and made it a part of z/OS. But there's probably a good reason why they didn't... Greg Shirey Ben E.
