I don't think so. Nevermind, let's drop out interpretations.
IMHO 3380 is still in use, in most cases generally because of staff
lazyness/lack of comptence. Yes, I mean it.
AFAIR 3390 was introduced in 1990. 17 years ago. Enough time to
perform migration.
All the shops I know use 3380 without any real reason. For example
they use Adabas, however other shops, running the same application
migrated to 3390 years ago. Another examples: JES2 SPOOL, RACF db. No
comments.
Of course my experience is limited, that's why I didn't say "in every
case"; YMMV
-------------------<unsnip>---------------------
Another key reason that many shops are still running 3380 emulation:
U.S. Government budgets are quite often penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Money won't be spent to upgrade to 3390-type geometry because competent
people that can do that sort of work well simply won't work for the
pittance that government service offers.
