Very cool application indeed. It would however, defeat our purpose of moving an application from OS/390 to mainframe Linux by adding back in the cost os OS/390. We are looking at a "micro" market for the L/390 stuff.
Thanks though, I'll keep it in mind for the OS/390 projects! -Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Havelock, Glenn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 11:09 AM Subject: Re: VSAM or Lightweight Database? Paul: Here's my two cents worth, even though you've gotten plenty of responses: Rather than moving the VSAM files to LINUX on the mainframe, why not use a product such as our EDBC tool which will allow data in VSAM files on OS/390 - Z/OS to be accessed from LINUX guests running on the mainframe? Here's the link to a 2 page overview.
