Given the way many places actually use their mainframes, a move to operating system du jour may not decrease reliability. If the online transactions crash periodically, does it matter to users of those applications that the system stays up. A move to a well written package on even Windows may result in increased reliability so far as the end user is concerned. If the mainframe applications people in a shop are still in the VS COBOL way of doing things and their companies aren't providing an adequate test environment, that shop probably will be helped by a move to platform i, p, x, Linux or other vendor if that causes a revision in the way of doing business. >Happy Weekend. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
