Re: z/OS system programmer staffing

[Luis M Martinez]

Franky,

Don't worry about it  be happy.

Actually that odd thoughts regarding to location and nationality .. are 
changing. Every day more and more recruiters are looking for ZOS people with 
expertise and willing to relocation (not a country passport or privileged  
community members) ... due to mainframe is not dying  the mainframe 
people is who is retiring or   it's hard to say  is dying.


Many countries are experiencing with teaching again the mainframe on 
Universities or outsourcing providers that prepares your own resources. 
Obviusly in order to preparing people for the entire world, and those people 
truly are populating the world, but IMO the experience is better yet.


Keep on fighting. Your only concern must be the contract , travel and 
rellocation conditions that you can negotiate.

Glood look
P.D. Regards to Ever-guys

Re: Unix grep question

[Luis M Martinez]

According to the link posted I'd use:

find . -exec grep www.athabasca {} \;   From your working Directory
find /my_path -exec grep www.athabasca {} \;   From whatever path


I've never used the '{}' notation ... try first without the quotes.

Re: Unix grep question

[Luis M Martinez]

Hello,

Could you post your command and the error message an I can help you with 
the solution

On most of the Unix distributions you have the limits on the file 
named /usr/include/limits.h. I can'nt remember if USS have it.

If you cann't defeat the limits ... then try with a small shellscript  using 
awk 
(get_line() and close()) and reading the file names from an input file 
previously 
generated with the list of files to grep.

Re: z/OS system programmer staffing

[Luis M Martinez]

Another concerns to mention:

* If your shop support some clients (outsourcing)
* Several IBM operating systems on the boxes: zVM, zVSE, zLinux, zOS.
* A lot of virtual machines.
* Some shops try to have one equipment for z/OS, IBM and ISV software 
cloning for new realeses while having other equipment in a daily basis 
operations support.
* Hybrid applications: DB2 multiplatforms, Oracle, Web, CICS, Java, USS, 
LDAP, Automation.
* New implementations: WLC, IRD,  
* New technologies: ERP, CRM, Busines Intelligence, Data Warehouse, Data 
Mining , etc
* Education of the staff


Truly, with sysprogs highly skilled and experienced, the requirement is reduced 
to much more work days/hours/weekends for these people.
