One thing that, IMO, is keeping JCL in business is shear inertia. Too many times I've had people, especially programmers, resist doing any "unnecessary" clean up of JCL. IMO, all COND processing should be done with the new IF/ELSE/ENDIF construct. But I can't even get them to write new JCL using

It's a bit like being a beer company. We just don't have the budget for mainframes. It's considered secondarily at best. One of the things on my list is to create a quality backup system.

The code I am writing is a prototype, but it is intended that something like it will be shipped to customers in time. I don't know that PDSE usage will be an issue to anyone, but experiece suggests that someone will at least question the requirement, so for the time being I'm avoiding using a PDSE

Hello Dave, I was hoping the pre-linker would resolve the long names I specified on the call to the 8 byte upper case names to which it renames the target routines, but it does not. To get around this I am using CHANGE statements in the linkedit step. I'm doing this in order to link the program i
