SIgh... and we won't talk about the current Z/os would you where IBM
continuously shrinks the source it sends out. JES2 is almost down to
bare bones, despite IBM promises to the contrary when IBM went
(mostly) OCO 10 or so years ago.
FSVO 10 much larger than the standard value.
That's only one of the OCO promises that IBM broke.
OK I was off my 5 or so years. I also realized that they did break
other promises but people (like Timothy) wear rose color glasses in
awe of IBM. The new crop of sysprogs just don't know (or don't care)
about such things.
At SHARE I can remember distinctly the PUBs people swearing up and
down that they will document *ANY AND ALL* messages and codes. First
it started with TCP line and then spread to other OE type products
and now its a standing joke with COBOL. I am sure I left out a
product or two but the point is IBM has broken many promises and with
their current regime its only going to get worse.
