So, I am going to ease up on IBM a little, except for the resources needed for z/OSMF, But have a few usability requests just as in the serverpac.
I am not 100% convinced yet, but I see no way of editing a job that was generated, BEFORE submit!! I also see fields on the screen but no context help as to know what they want to fill in, like * Work data set name prefix: what was the equivalent ?? This is critical, in many shops I have every installed SEVERPAC in, due to catalogs naming's mostly and where datasets live. In serverpac, you could SAVE JCL and recall using BACKUP to re-run something you had to modify for whatever reason. That ability seems gone?? I will test using z/OSMF based on what I saw in the DEMO, but when dealing with 1200+ z/OS datasets across, probably 5 or 6 volumes, in my experience always needed tweaked! Again, maybe for the sysprog, who doesn’t understand, this make perfect sense, but there are many times, the canned/generated JCL will not work in an environment and the dialogs don’t allow it to be fixed.
