I can, because I ask for permission. Doing it when you know it's not allowed, OTOH, is, shall we say, ill considered. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Jeremy Nicoll <jn.ls.mfrm...@letterboxes.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 11:09 AM 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?

I do not see why you'd to know who I am - how does that affect the answer? I've been reading and posting on IBM-mainframe mail lists/newsgroups for - I think - about 25 years. Before ill-health forced me to stop work I was an MVS sysprog at a UK bank for a while, then led a small programming team who (amongst other things) worked on SA/390 automation. If you don't believe it, search for me on LinkedIn. I'm asking because I've been following the thread and was somewhat amazed at the assumption that soneone starting work at a new site could expect to bring their own tools with them, with impunity. When you refer to "These people think they are so smart...", who do you mean? -- 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
