>No professor, having a limited number of lectures to deliver, will choose to waste any of them describing the continuation conventions for JCL, or HLASM, or even TSO. It's more productive to teach UNIX or Windows instead.
The above tends toward the ludicrous. If you're not going to teach the conventions, then why teach the language? If you're teaching about mainframes, you have to teach the conventions. This is akin to saying, I'll teach you C, but I won't teach you how to compile the programme. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
