We can argue, if you want. But, it was June 2006, and DFSORT was more expensive.
I was the project leader for replacing products with cheaper work-alikes. We replaced PKZIP/MVS with ZIP/390. We replaced OMEGASOLVE (or whatever it's called, now) with VANGUARD. The replacement products were a lot cheaper (20% of the other products), and had better support. We got SYSB (HWS), and SAS, onto sub-capacity licensing. DFSORT was too expensive to convert to. >Funny, last time I looked into this, DFSORT was vastly cheaper than Syncsort. >>> Ted MacNEIL <[email protected]> 1/30/2009 1:36 PM >>> >Or if you looked into switching but decided not to, I'd be interested in >knowing what stopped you? >We looked at DFSort, and we were stopped by cost. >At the time, there was no other competitors, and the difference was $50,000 >(CDN) a year. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
