I think Ed has overstated it. TSO is stabilized but supported, not
dead. And ISPF is still being enhanced (although few enhancements in
recent years).
Well, maybe you haven't been paying attention.
In z/OS 1.6, the following enhancements were introduced:
* ability to add REXX code to panel definitions
* extensive additions to file tailoring
* extended configuration options
* new QTABOPEN service
* new edit primary command COLS
* new edit primary command HIDE
* added {X|NX} option to CUT command
and more.
And there was a lot of new stuff in 1.5
This is one reason I can't sell ISPF update courses:
the perception is that everyone knows it all already.
Kind regards,
