In my opinion, Steve Comstock is out of line here. In JES2 for z/OS 1.7, IBM has implemented perhaps the most significant enhancements to JES2 in literally years.
- NJE over TCP/IP - Large Spool data sets (> 64K tracks) - Long SYSIN support (32K Lrecl) - Table Pair enhancements - SSI for JES2 monitor information - SAPI and extended status enhancements - Checkpoint recovery and so on. IBM has worked with customers at SHARE and other venues to gather input which IBM has used to guide the design and implementation choices they have made in providing these features. These conversations have been going on for literally years prior to the general availablity of z/OS 1.7. In an attempt to help customers where the original JES2 sysprog has moved on to bigger and better things, IBM has decided to provide a service to help customers evaluate their JES2 exits, and determine if the scope of their particular project is small/medium/large/xlarge. WHY IS THIS A BAD THING?
