All those CMS based applications are here at the State of New Jersey.
We spent a year removing calls to 'PROFS' from CMS users exec's and
profile's. This was from June 2005 to June 2006. Part of this was a
nightly process to update the System Names file.
And now we are working on the nightly process to create ACF2 reports
from VM and MVS and update thousands of CMS files with DATA available to
ISR's using an inhouse panel system based on PSS and INFOLIST.
AND everyone's Profile exec brings up an 'INFOMENU' panel with hundreds
of choices of applications and exec's and data panels.
A lot's and lot's of CMS (REXX) applications running here.
It will keep me busy till my (second) retirement in 2010.
(first was 2004)

Ultimately, I'm trying to answer the question: if you have
CMS-oriented users today, where are they going to go?
I think that's an old question these days. Around here, it's pretty
hard to find a CMS-only oriented person.
Probably badly phrased on my part: CMS-oriented applications is probably
a better description. The stuff works, it's tested, and rewriting it
probably isn't cost-effective. Where do those applications go? And how?
