I think we just had this discussion a couple of months ago. There were noe definitive answers; I believe the upshot was something along the lines of:
1) Only IBM knows for sure. 2) They ain't telling. 3) Mainframe MIPS in use is increasing 4) The number of actual mainframe shops is probably decreasing. Jon <snip> Does anyone have any statistics on the current size of the MVS world? Does IBM publish any numbers? Some of the posts on this board would strongly suggest it is still shrinking. I thought the exodus was pretty much over...those shops that were going to migrate off had done so. Not so? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
