So David, you consider using ISPF panels a net negative? I used to write
dialogs for anything repetitive that I or anyone else had to do.
Never thought it was bad if "people in charge are by-the-book mentality
and I can imagine them using ISPF Panels for everything from RACF to
SMP/e." Especially when I was the person in charge. And I knew what the
CBT tape was and is....

Hi Brian,
You said: "...so why would they question my use of anything I need in order to
perform my job efficiently? ..."
My answer is that the people in charge are by-the-book mentality and I can
imagine them using ISPF Panels for everything from RACF to SMP/e.
(At one of my jobs, the MVS Team Lead said : "CBT??? ... never heard of it"
(This guy has been an MVS Systems Programmer for more than 30 years.))
These same people eschew creativity in any form, because, they're scared due to
ignorance.
Regards,
David

I think that's a pretty invalid point. I don't see anyone questioning how to
write an exit or install a new system, or use SMPe, so why would they question

Maybe it's just that they all assume I must know what I'm doing. If they
didn't believe that, I doubt they would have asked me to do the project.
