Hi Gil,
If IND$FILE replaces FTP, it would be slow beyond belief.
The way that IND$FILE works is that it reads a screenfull (24*80=1920
Bytes) at a time and deals with the this buffer.
I cannot imagine the time it would take to Upload/Download a large TRS

Now that you've mentioned DB2, please tell me how to write/maintain a

Next time my customer asks me to amend it, I will be sure to give them

Hi Jon,
In one paragraph, you're talking about application code. In another
paragraph, you're discussing system-level programming.
My argument has nothing to do with application code; I've always
maintained that application code should be written in a High Level Language.
As to your second para
Hi Bill,
Nice job cherry picking.
Since you don't know Assembler, here is a fact you are (willfully) omitting.
PL/S, PL/X, PL/AS etc. has never been been made available to all IBM
customers. (I know that select customers have successfully obtained a
licence.)

Hi Bill,
Your claim of salary being equal to real SysProgs does not categorically
prove that Assembler is useless.
It is very easy to destroy this vacuous argument.
Let's say you were employed in New York and your colleague (Assembler
expert) was employed in West Virginia.
In this case, you mi
