"Open Letter" to Mr. Yaeger... Normally I would send this "off line" but I'm guessing a lot of other shops may have the problem we do.
We have programmers who last cracked a DF/SORT manual somewhere around release 5 (I'm just guessing, so don't call me out on the version number). They keep copying each other's JCL and sort examples, blissfully aware of the improvements and utility in the product (especially things like ICETOOL, named fields, date handling..). Do you have any materials or good suggestions about how to present all of the new capabilities to these people? I'm thinking of offering a one day course on "Everything You Wanted to Know About DF/SORT But Were Too Clueless To Ask". I am _not_ a DF/SORT expert, but somebody's gotta provide the training.
