Rob, Similarly our Mainframe Copy products operate through an ISPF interface. I used to love all the "oohs and aahs" when customers realized they could do stuff in TSO, rather than GUI or thousands of line commands.
Sometimes I think the main enemy of TSO is the default model 2 definition that every 3270 emulator uses. Watching people with 24" inch screens looking at 24 lines of screen just floors me. When I show them they can have 43 lines or more they are incredulous. <rant on> Isn't it about time the ISMF developers realized that Mod 4 is not the limit to the number of lines on a screen! Grrrr... <rant off> Ron > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Rob Scott > Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 9:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] CHROME and WEB apps on Mainframe? > > We all know that the PHBs are telling everyone that TSO and ISPF are > dead and that we should all be using some sort of GUI interface - > however what I have found is that the people using the software that I > write get WAY more excited at the ISPF interface functions than the > web/java stuff. > > Then again - maybe my customers have a higher beard+sandles+pipe co- > efficient than most...:-) > > > > > Rob Scott > Rocket Software, Inc > 275 Grove Street > Newton, MA 02466 > 617-614-2305 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
