Thanks all for the information. I've been installing CICS and writing Assembler code for CICS transactions since the '70's on DOS OS's and other MVS releases, but I had never heard of a CICS to run on VM.
Hearst Corp. had a number of 360 machines of various sizes and started to use CICS/DOS in the '70's and I loved it. To bad I missed that boat, I would have loved to have a crack at CICS/VM. Live and learn, I would like to be around 20,15, 50 years from now to see where z/VM and CICS is at. BTW, loved macro level CICS programming. --- On Wed, 6/23/10, Marcy Cortes <marcy.d.cor...@wellsfargo.com> wrote: From: Marcy Cortes <marcy.d.cor...@wellsfargo.com> Subject: Re: CICS and z/VM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 10:50 PM Too cool for real life apparently.

It was a pretty cool product (hey, it used SFS!) and at that time I still remembered how to write CICS applications. Those brain cells have since been archived.
