In a former life many many years ago, I was a sysprog at a big utility company. When we migrated from MVS/370 to MVS/XA, the COBOL programmers were in a panic. They all wanted to know whether IBM would continue to support IEFBR14 under the new MVS/XA. They were the same programmers who were clearly undecided about voting for a stock split, because it would mean a lot of extra work for them to change all of the hard-coded constants for the number of outstanding stock shares. Sigh...those were the days... Jeffrey D.
