Well, IMS is nor dead for sure. But think you are a Chinese bank with some hundreds of account. Now try to access it with DB2 or Anabas with a reasonable response time. I have seen few TPF systems in my life. Like old soldiers, they don't die, they are outsourced. This is because in the systems TPF running, there is an advantage to size.

Radoslaw You have been reading too many ill-informed Anton comments.... VSE is NOT dead by any means. Catch the WAVV! And if you think that TPF is dead, just check how many airlines use it every day. Ask Kees for his learned opinion! IMS - as others have commented, almost every time you use an ATM, you use IMS. New applications? Who cares! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. IMS will still be around after we've all abandoned MS Vista....
