When I first started at one job they talked about things called def-ism and id-mmms. It took me awhile to figure out they were talking about DFHSM and IDMS. And I also have heard someone use zoss instead of ZOS.
Of course this is the same shop that had RACF setup with single character passwords with no password history or password age set, and they had most of their SYS1. Dataset profiles setup as WARN only. They tried to run me off when I put in a password length and password history (what was I thinking? - to actually use the security system for SECURITY). Needless to say I left quickly. C.

Charles, that's interesting. I worked in shops in the Southeast, specifically Atlanta, for almost 30 years and there is was always kicks. It's when I moved to the Midwest in 2005 that I got into a shop where they said see-eye-see-ess, and the first time I used the term kicks they didn't know what I was talking about.

It seemed to me to be a geographical thing in the US. When I lived on the east coast I always heard see-eye-see-ess and dee-oh-ess. When I moved to the west coast is when I started hearing kicks and "doss." With the greater geographical mobility now and more dispersed corporations that difference may have disappeared. It's interesting. Everyone seems to say rack-eff and vee-tam and vee-sam but no one says zoss.

I don't know where he got that, he lived in California. Wherever I've worked it was see-eye-see-ess, including trips to customers around the U.S., but not outside. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ************************************************************************ ***** If you wish to communicate securely with Commerce Bank and its affiliates, you must log into your account under Online Services at http://www.commercebank.com or use the Commerce Bank Secure Email Message Center at https://securemail.commercebank.com NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files are confidential.
