John, you forget to mention that said 3-hour Rexx job would also have hogged a CP for the entire time, preventing anybody else from getting an innings.
I had a similar experience (I did NOT do the Rexx). Job ran every 10 minutes, and held 80% of a CP for the entire time. The ASM re-write used 0.8% of a CP.

We are certainly fanning the flames aren'w we? So, your proof of legitimacy is ALL pc-related. Zzzzzz. That is NON-relevant to a mainframe. Your opinion is every bit as caustically negative as mine(saves somebody the swipe there). . But, getting back to the costs, which SMART men like IBM understand, when you look at the costs of the hardware AND programmers and CONSTANT reprogramming needed for garbage like Java(really, even C++ is better than that), the costs per output of product is VASTLY higher for a pc based application. And the product is reports of value to a company, not inflated fluff reports coming from something like Hadoo. And yes, FOOL, it is WISE to boast about something written in a language which creates things FAR faster than garbage interpreted code. As an example, I wrote something in Rexx that took 3 hours to run. I converted to Assembler, and it took 3 SECONDS to run. So they are smart, you are NOT. That's why the big boys SHOULD ignore you. Costs are what matter to the big boys, and doing something that much faster means that much LESS computing time. I know, it's frustrating not having your way, buddy, but time to accept facts. These are facts. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 3/27/14, Automatic digest processor <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 26 Mar 2014 to 27 Mar 2014 (#2014-57) To: "Recipients of ASSEMBLER-LIST digests" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, March 27, 2014, 11:00 PM ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 26 Mar 2014 to 27 Mar 2014 (#2014-57) LISTSERV at the University of Georgia ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 26 Mar 2014 to 27 Mar 2014 (#2014-57) Table of contents: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (8) Automatic reply: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (2) ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 25 Mar 2014 to 26 Mar 2014 (#2014-56) Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/26) From: skg <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/26) From: skg <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: John Gilmore <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: Kirk Talman <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: Ze'ev Atlas <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: David de Jongh <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: Kirk Talman <[email protected]> Re: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: Lloyd Fuller <[email protected]> Automatic reply: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills Automatic reply: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: Steve Hazzard <[email protected]> Automatic reply: Another Article On Lagging Mainframe Skills (03/27) From: "Ward Able, Grant" <[email protected]> ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 25 Mar 2014 to 26 Mar 2014 (#2014-56) Re: ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 25 Mar 2014 to 26 Mar 2014 (#2014-56) (03/27) From: John Walker <[email protected]> Browse the ASSEMBLER-LIST online archives.
