Hello Rob Thank you so much for your response Could you please point to your presentation on migrating off from ISFPRMXX to RACF ? Fortunately our shop is very small and we don't have any archiving tool or any automation tool. Peter On Sat, Dec 2, 2023, 9:55 PM Rob Scott wrote: > Peter, > >

Hey, I didn't say we don't ~want~ better rates. I didn't even say we don't deserve them (though I might if pressed. I don't use the word "deserve" casually). I said only that we don't need them - and added that I was speaking strictly for myself :). When I was an employee I'd been at the sam

Let me get this right: Companies will pay their lawyers $750 an hour and up, but the people that write the code to keep their businesses running, that do the support work to keep those businesses running, us they want to pay $45 an hour for, and give us a list of skills they want a mile long. I

Whether it is a work for hire depends on a lot of variables. Generally speaking, if it is part of your regular duties or if it is a deliverable in a contract you signed, then it is a work for hire, otherwise it belongs to you. Best practice is to discuss the issue up front and sign a contract sp

The Devil is in the details. several US companies ask you to sign away your intellectual property rights; I've found that they are willing to accept changes if they are reasonable. It's prudent for both the employee and the employer to be clear up front who owns what up front. -- Shmuel (Seymou

Again, I'm speaking only for myself, but I definitely think we DON'T "need" better terms. I have a great job that pays me more money than I spend for doing what I wanted to do anyway. (Not that I'd insist on giving back some of it if folks insist on offering more. But I don't want to ride the

Can't speak for anyone else, but I usually just take (or turn down) the first offer, mostly I think out of poor self-image. Not sure why, because I don't mind dickering over a car. The only exception I can remember off-hand is when a consulting company that employed me was looking to cut costs

How many programmers negotiate when a recruiter contacts them with a lowball offer, and how many just move it to the circular file? When I'm looking for people, I don't want to scare away good candidates with an offer that might offend them; I ask "What are you looking for?". -- Shmuel (Seymou

Peter, Can I strongly suggest you instigate a project to activate OPERCMDS (and JESSPOOL if not already active). ISFPRMx just controls actions within SDSF and does not preclude any semi-capable programmer from writing code to issue operator commands (or access SYSOUT using the JES SSI). Star

Hello All Good morning I have planned to install zOSMF in our test LPAR. Our SDSF uses its own security features using ISFPRMXX and I can see zOSMF has its own IZUSEC jobs where it activates OPERCMDS class. We never activated OPERCMDS instead we manage using ISFPRMXX PARMLIB member. Is there any
