Frank, All of your "SORT" children will now have to grow up. I count myself among them. Sir, you spoiled us!
You are, most definitely, leaving the SORT world a better place than you found it; a very fine testament to your career. Please do check back in with us from time to time. I'll smile when I see your name and remember that we had it great once! :-) Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Frank Yaeger Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 9:00 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Retiring after 43+ years with IBM Just a note to let everyone know I'll be retiring at the end of this month (5/31/2012). I've been with IBM for 43+ years (plus a couple of summers in college) and I've enjoyed my career immensely. I've especially enjoyed being able to help people use the DFSORT/ICETOOL functions I developed, over many years, in new and interesting ways. Once I retire, I won't be posting solutions any more since I won't have access to a mainframe to test them, and I don't like posting untested solutions. I may lurk a bit or I may not. I'm looking forward to retirement, but I'll also miss this list. I'm happy to say that others on the DFSORT Team will continue to contribute. Thanks to everyone for giving me the chance to earn a living all these years doing something that was a lot of fun for me. Long live the mainframe, IBM, z/OS, DFSORT and ICETOOL!
