Peter, When IBM semi announced that TSO was dead the first question was what was the replacement? We did not get an answer or even a hint. One of my IBM sources said they were working on a *COMPLETE* replacement but did not elaborate. This was quite a while ago (10 years about). I have lost all my contacts at IBM so I am as much dark as the rest of you. I was hoping for some indication as to the status, about 5 years ago. But nothing was announced. that I heard about. Since there is no pressure ( SHARE is IBM's patcy (AFAIC) there is no longer any leverage to get IBM off the dime . Maybe if you can get the SHARE board to make it a point to ASK IBM what the status of TSO they might give them the answer.
