[Prompted by mentions of git on another thread] Rocket is in the process of porting git to z/OS (on USS, of course). As others have noted, it's challenging, given the ASCII/EBCDIC issues. Nonetheless, we hope to have a public beta available by the end of the year; it will be announced on Rocket's open source forum at:
http://forum.rocketsoftware.com/c/rocket-z-os-open-source-languages-tools At least initially (and, I suspect, forever...), it will only support USS files, not MVS datasets (that's a whole nother kettle 'o fish...). Meanwhile: I use git with z/OS using the "large sledgehammer" approach. I keep my actual git repositories on Windows and use WinSCP to periodically copy the source back and forth between Windows and z/OS. Crude, but functional. Once on Windows, I can push/pull github repos. Look here for a repos containing z/OS source: https://github.com/zorts/pause_release ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
