ROFLMAO. :0 What goes around. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 8:24 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [giggling] Does anybody use z390, other than as a hobbist?
Why am I giggling? I had one of our programmer's ask me about z390, both COBOL and CICS. We _are_ getting off of z/OS. But a "sticking point" (PITA) is the COBOL and CICS code (somehow). We had planned on using Microfocus for our needs. I have heard that management is now in "sticker shock" mode and looking for "something else" which could be used but does not cost as much. By "not cost as much", I really mean "costs less than a Starbucks latte". OK, I'm getting tacky again. -- Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted.
