I do not do too much on z/OS anymore (there aren't too many jobs and they don't pay that well.) So most time I work on Windows or Linux/Unix of some variety. I am surprised that the most striking difference between z/OS and the other OSes is not that much emphasized! So let me please spell it:
In Unix and Windows you need to know where the heck is your file, like: aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee/fff/myfile An wow to you if you do not remember or did not get the information that ccc is now qqq. You'll never find your file anymore! in z/OS you catalog the file and say: myfile Apparently z/OS is capable of finding the file without any manual assistance! "Manual assistance"?!? didn't we invent computers, big data and what not to save menial work. :) ZA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
