However, Enhanced HOLDDATA, which includes HOLDs for HIPERs, has
not been around for 20 years. In fact, the pre-GA pilot progam
wasn't even 20 years ago (more like 12). Without digging through
notes and such, my best guess is that Enhanced HOLDDATA will have
something close to its 10th birthday this year.
I should have mentioned, though, that SMARTMVS, on which Enhanced
HOLDDATA was built, was around well before that. (SMARTMVS,
including some SMP/E extensions, was available through your
friendly IBM SE at the time. I'm reliably told that it dated from
1984-ish.)

John,
A key point that everyone seems to be missing is that SE's (and they
like) have essentially disappeared in the late 80's and early 90's.
There is no longer a way that IBM can reach out to inform the
"community" of good information. IBM did it to themselves when they
got rid of SE's.
