I agree with Brian. IBM worked diligently to inform customers about the changes to JES in 1.7. As Dave Danner mentioned, they published an Exit Migration Guide. They came to SHARE and gave sessions on the changes. They worked with the SHARE JES2 Project for well over a year prior to GA on migration/exit issues. They presented sessions on the changes at the IBM Expo. This another nail in the mainframe coffin for those who won't read the publications and won't attend conferences. IBM does charge for their service, but do you really expect them to work for free? I don't. I am sympathetic to the original poster whose management allowed their JES2 expertise to disappear. >It was a joke, man! If it was a joke, it lost its humor in the translation.
