"I am hardly an expert in either," says it all. I don't know where to begin with what he got wrong.

Just look at the JCL that's being shoved into a horrid, horrid Python program. ~200 lines to replace 18 lines of JCL. Oh.. and that's leaving aside the condescending tone about 'the old mainframer'. Whether a person wants to learn something or not (therefore choosing their path) is up to them. They don't need to be harassed/shamed about it. Just because there were some people on mainframe forums consistently harassing everyone with "check with your site's system programmer / RTFM / etc.", it doesn't mean the woke folk need to return the favour by being passive aggressive or insulting senior sysprogs for not wearing neon shorts or whatever. If this is being paraded as simplification, now the mainframe is truly doomed. https://secure-web.cisco.com/1DHFB8apAA5PX_KYtTTmXhONY5FJsicjE9s_UNjBUWBevxK6yCOyAstJZ91JSn6V1ETZ5wy-j_5m2_mR65kihpOPJ12VL_7Mx2oXrUG1ABDcBBXIXghvO3cJ3Qe6f1Y2F8dXe8qumNdjr4E9J5ayg5i2h51vcVp9VH4Rx6cxThIlZiUjsvS5ROv0G-eExvB50ZOls1kj7O79UtfMOIMtLo5hSFCdzHhgUp1PnCzpITXFl742D0z6RYmrpX1Srz01j-0_e6cPYp-J2Q5q4Lo4VemyopfmCtUjJz8WedM5iJ2oB9teHLEMm6-zb8b4glFOF7xJpfmrGKPnnjVflAq-Uzi71vkN4NcdBbBlWyhBtOlBwIoYbaYiuGRZLrsKivOkqBafjZgHfb_oo7qOIRAKVvAyL4IPPK8FhyWyXrJg-daHKEBbChNgZIdjYShGHR40q/https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2Ftheropod%2Fthe-journey-from-jcl-to-python-so-easy-even-an-old-mainframer-can-do-it-f088cc49366a - KB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
