I *DO* have many years of experience with z/OS -- I learned to program in PL/I and assembler on OS/MVT in the early 1970s and was a systems programmer through the mid 1980s. I've worked on more modern z/OS systems for the past 4 years. I also have many years of experience with both Unix and Windows systems. It's that experience that makes me so excited about the potential of Zowe. It's providing a framework for bringing highly-evolved system management tools of all kinds to z/OS. This will ultimately make the systems programmer's job easier. That's not a bad thing. It's not just that the "next gen" programmers need to learn z/OS -- it's time for established z/OS programmers to start adopting tools and practices from other platforms, too. -- Jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
