That darn NULL process was always *hogging* the CPU. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/07/03 02:09PM >>> Nope, we would be using IMS and/or CICS & DL/I. On the beginning of my career, when I was a junior programmer using completely outdated, badly overused language (COBOL, for short) an ancient IBM 3084 with only 32M RAM was able to service 800+ users, as long as there weren't too many TSO users. I'd hate to explain what CICS, MVS and TSO are (or were), but those things were way more optimal and way faster then any other database I've ever seen, and that was happenening in the year 1986. At the end of 1986, I was reassigned to check out that wonderful new box with OS that has held so much promise....VAX 3900 with VMS 4.6. Does anybody still remember the NULL.COM and NULL process?
