Well, I think that most programmers still use TN3270 and ISPF. I would count that as a "green screen". I really wish that I could get my hands on WD4z to see if I think it could replace TSO and ISPF entirely for COBOL program development, both batch and CICS. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
