I seem to recall that one old COBOL compiler required 3380's for work datasets. Since COBOL compliers tend to live forever and that solutions tend to outlive their problems ......

I'm not sure exactly why, but they are there. I think we had some software that required 3380s at one time, but I don't think we have any now. I'm curious - what would be the benefit of getting off of the 3380s? I think that the larger track size might allow a little more data per track, but other than that, why would having 3380s be a problem?
