The first sysprog job I had at Milwaukee County I did quite a bit of Cobol programming. Never did PL/1 at that job though. I worked on their billing system. Later, I wrote a system similar to HSM to back up all of the new and changed datasets on the TSO packs. That was mostly assembler, but some of the programs were in Cobol also. -- Eric Bielefeld Systems Programmer Aviva USA Des Moines, Iowa 515-645-5153
