The standard company wide language was COBOL. None of the programmers knew assembler. As I explained in a previous post none of the programmers could debug assembler code.

The consultants were using our resources to compile programs for the consultants essentially stealing resources from our company. The two steps we made to stop the process was taking away access to sys1.maclib and also not allowing assembler to be invoked.

That explains it.  But what were they expected to do, btw ?
