Agreed.
However my explanation is a little bit different.
I know ISPF, JCL, etc. However I also know GUI. It can be old fashioned
Windows GUI, different OS/2 GUI, modern and less productive "current
Windows" GUI, Linux GUI, etc.
What I don't like is zOSMF setup and customization. It's horrible. RACF
definitions and samples are prepared by people who don't know RACF. Yes,
I mean it.
I have absolutely nothing against HMC GUI. I liked OS/2, I migrated to
2.x (Linux), then migrated to tree-style. No problem, because HMC GUI is
*already prepared and working*.
The difference is I don't have to define ISPF environment to work. OK, I
do some customizations, but it is really simple. I do not set up HMC or
TKE interface.
But this is not the zOSMF case.

I'm sure my complaints don't do any good,
but I've been doing this for 25 years (I know many of you a lot longer).
I don't understand why IBM wants to force everyone to use z/OSMF.
Maybe it's an attempt to attract a younger group of System Programmers.
That's fine. However, I am not a GUI fan. I like the green screen.
Serverpac works great. I am running into issues trying to learn z/OSMF.
It's a waste of my time when I already know how to use Serverpac.

Running zOSMF under z/OS 2.4. In attempting to load the Portable Software
Instance, retrieving the contents from the directory, that was used when the
order was retrieved to our system, I get the following error.
An error was found in file "/u/pinionr/TDMF/IZUD00DF.json". Error: "The file
contains data that is not supported by the current level of z/OSMF. The version = 8."IZUD277E

I have no idea how to proceed. If I need to apply maintenance to zOSMF, how
would I be able to proceed?
