Or me, Clark Morris who has held the belief that z/OS is in a maintenance mode because of inconsistencies like this and hanging on to CKD which doesn't scale too well when we are fast approaching the era of terabyte disk drives for PCs and probably Digital Video Recorders. I also believe COBOL is in a maintenance mode with no vision for the future when it doesn't support 64 bit and XP link, yet the only OO support for COBOL involves Java and there is now a 64 bit Java. I haven't seen whether COBOL development is supported with a full blown IDE based on Eclipse, either stand alone or in the one also used for C/C++ and Java. The SHARE requirement for this basically exists in the Guide/SHARE Language Futures Task Force Report dated November 1984. > >Shane ... > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
