Hi Phil,
This reminds me of a story ...
Approximately 20 years ago, my colleague and myself (same colleague as

the introductory hello.
Part of it was due to their announcing

Approximately 26 years ago, myself and a colleague were invited to a
multi-vendor meeting at a customer site to help solve a problem.
My colleague had the misfortune of pronouncing "SAP" as "sap" (rather
than Ess-Ay-Pee). The SAP guys there went stark

I recently upgraded 9.0-9.1 on z/OS V2.3
One thing to know is that (ZPARM ) OPMODE (in CSQ6SYSP Macro) no longer
available, chooses between COMPAT and NEWFUNC.
(As of 9.1, it's all effectively NEWFUNC). This also (besides not

Hi Dave,
The JCLIN is not an actual job. It is just a bunch of statements which
get scanned for keywords, much like what recruiters do on LinkedIn.
I usually try to make sure that it is not executable in case in gets

Hi David,
I like VI(m) too.
I'd like to point out, however, that ISPF and XEDIT allow the user to
restrict edits to a column range.

Hi Ravi, Barbara,
If you want to trace the execution of the program (instead of just one
