Very comforting to know I'm not the senior member of the z/VM Old Farts League :-)
Back on track - I spent 6 months in the late 70's coding a simple data collection screen/database update in 370 assembler. Found REXX in the 80's and did the same thing in 2 hours and never looked back (slow shmoe - use them fancy speedy processors to hide the overhead). I do miss juggling bits sometimes though..
