Classification: Public Rocket has indeed ported vim to z/OS; I use it all the time.
It took a while to getting used to, being unfamiliar with that kind of editor, but once I got the terminal file sorted, and the keyboard mappings worked out, it's good. The challenge is the extent of what it can do - I've barely scratched the surface and I'm sure I could be doing things more efficiently, but for what I need it for, it's fine.

I have relied on keeping my JCL in here-documents in shell scripts and relying on shell facilities for tailoring. How much am I missing? The glaring lack in ISPF Edit is Command Substitution such as in vi: :r ! TZ=EST5EDT date :w ! mutt e...@univie.ac.at I've occasonaly dabbled in macros for that.
