Hmmm, after scanning my ancient COBOL progs, they're still rust free! ;-) HSM can do wonders to package your libraries in rust-free migrated datasets, mind you... ;-D >Every "bug" I have ever seen has been actually some programmer's mistake. Of course. Whoever gives a computer something faulty to do, it is that person's fault, not the computer. But then, someone (I wonder who?) said on IBM-MAIN, a COBOL program abended with a S??? abend, so it is not that program, it is the SYSTEM! It is the programmer's responsibility to fix his/her program if the issue is indeed within the program itself. Who-ever runs that program, has to fix anything else related to that abend or refer to the programmer if needed.
