Tools? That's something to discuss up front. Not just ownership, but whether to share.
JCL? Sharing is fine if your colleagues understand "as is". I'm most comfortable when sharing is the norm, but their shop, their rules. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Jeremy Nicoll <jn.ls.mfrm...@letterboxes.org> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2023 5:51 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How long for an experiened z/OS sysprog to come up to speed on a new environment?

How about - say - assembler source? It seems to me that some places might view that as a security risk. And how, if you develop any new samples/tools at one site do you get them out afterwards? Never mind moving to a new site, how much less productive does anyone think they would be if one day they suddenly had no access to their own datasets (and let's say those of colleagues, as well)? I know that when I last worked I hardly ever wrote any JCL etc from scratch. I looked for my own prior examples. If I had none, I browsed my immediate colleagues' PDSes. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
