VSAM was no later than 1975. I was in a PL/I class at Sudbury in 1975. Happened to be the week England beat Cyprus at Wembley 5-0 and Malcolm MacDonald scored all 5 goals.
Anyway, our teacher at Sudbury asked this question: "Why is VSAM like a cow in the middle of a meadow". Answer: "They are both outstanding in their field". 16 April 1975: England's Malcolm Macdonald scores five against Cyprus Funny how things stick in your memory. We were still ISAM many years later..... On Tue, Dec 5, 2017 at 9:00 AM, Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> wrote: > ICF came in with DF/EF, which preceded MVS/XA. > > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
