At our shop, C programming is done on z/OS since 1992, this is insurance math. The goal is to have the same source code on all platforms (WIN, OS/2, Unixes, z/OS), and for us this works perfectly.
Until recently, we did no significant work on USS, but since 2 or 3 years USS is more and more used to build things for "normal" z/OS and to do other things related to the development process. Some of our people have a good knowlegde of UNIX tools and they like USS much more than the "classical" MVS. Further opinions below. Am Montag, 23.
