Hi Jim.
I am more of the MVS person than the VTAM person.
In fact, my VTAM abilities are very limited.
Sorry but I won't be able to help you.
For the last 10 years, I have also spent more time on the Capacity Planning
side than the Systems Programming side.
Good luck!

The job is with Compuware Services. I am the COTR of the contract and will be
glad to forward your inquiry over to the company for review. If you are
hesitant about coming to the Washington DC area, give me a call and I can chat
about the living expenses, entertainment, and general over all conditions. I
came to DC back in 1975 as an Air Force Staff Sergeant (single) and lived well.
I came back in the 1980s as an officer and lived quite well. Am now a gov't
civilian and making it fine.
I have enticed a number of folks over the years from out in the hinderland to
come here and they are still around. The work is challenging and interesting
with a plan to go to GDPS Active-Active Sysplex at 69km. IBM zEnterprise
Servers are coming next year and just upgraded DASD Tape. Just moving into
DB2 for z/OS Data Sharing and converting SuSe to RedHat Linux on z. If someone
wants to broaden their horizons and can do what is considered your job, you can
cross over into other areas.
You will need the ability to get a SSBI (Single Scope Background Investigation)
Full Adjudicated Background Investigation
Let me know if you are interested. jim
