Maybe you should have bought a lottery ticket that day?

“Programming” in REXX, CLIST, and similar types of languages is hardly
programming. Real programming is hundreds or thousands of lines of COBOL, with
IMS, DB2, or CICS calls. I was pretty damn good too. Started off in COBOL/IMS 4
decades ago. Did a little bit of COBOL/CICS and quite a bit of

Ah, yes; not only more charitable, but more likely. Thank you.

Going out on a limb, here, but either your boss was an arrant liar (which you
did not suggest), or she never wrote a COBOL program of more than 30 or 40
lines in the PROCEDURE DIVISION.

Hm, that cautionary tale gets me thinking. When I'm writing a REXX of any
complexity, say more than 100 lines, I find it useful to write a bit of it, run
it to debug, then add the next piece, run it again, and so on. Otherwise
debugging is much more difficult; my way, when the program bombs I
Round robin DNS isnt a good choice here. That means that when a DNS server
gives out the IP of the offline server, it will be retained by the client
for the TTL period. Thus if the TTL period is 15 minutes, then 25% of the
user base wont be able to access the app for that amount of time. Probably
Charles,
as long as your user means they want a single dns name to connect to (not
actual IP addr), would getting your dns folk setup a round robin DNS entry for
your 4 servers be a solution? It's a simpler form of load balancing but works
and zero work required on z.
