We converted here at CDC about 2 years ago because we were down to around 50 users on Roscoe, and we could not justify the cost. I was able to write a job to pull all of the Roscoe libraries over to PDS's, and I assisted the users in rewriting their RPF's to REXX execs. Unfortunately, it was a VERY manual process to move the RPF's, so it will take some work to make this conversion... I don't know of any tool that will automate the process of converting the RPF's to REXX or CLIST. But I can send a sample of how I pulled off the Roscoe libraries into PDS's....

I would perform some performance/capacity planning studies before making the switch. Bob Robert B.

I would also be interested in hearing about user experiences of people who have already undertaken this task. <SNIP> Start budgeting for a CPU upgrade. If ROSCOE has similar efficiency as ACS/WYLBUR had, you will see a significant increase in CPU utilization. In the 3090 days, the moving of approximately 30 people to TSO resulted in a company (insurance industry) looking at a CPU upgrade. They stopped the migration -- probably because the cost of the extra CPU and the corresponding increase in software costs.
