Dick, >Anyone else as disgusted with the "SR" replacement as I am?
You might want to check my lenghty rants (in 5 parts) in March 2011 (SR might be palatable if). Nothing has changed since then, and I know that SR development was aware of my critique and intentionally misunderstood it. SR is still as user-unfriendly as it was. But you just don't get that IBM has taken surveys which confirmed that their way was the best, most "user-friendly" one. And anyone saying something else is just negative in the extreme. Apparently the US SHARE customers said that SR is okay (and US customers are the only ones that count), so IBM pulled the plug on ETR. IBM also does not intend to do anything about the double logon 'until later'. Which will be November at the earliest, and they didn't specify which year. They didn't give a concrete date at all. I will not use it and instead call in problems. If I report any at all in the future. In my opinion, SR is IBMs way of telling the world that their code doesn't have bugs, hence customers only request 'service' when the code has bugs - service payable in $$$$ - not report problems anymore. So why bother? As long as I have an easy bypass, I won't. Get used to the new world of the clickers! As a mainframer, you're a dying breed. (As am I.)
