I would like to return to the "selling point" issue. I stated that there are many technologies that run better outside the mainframe like Cobol and sort. Don't take my word, ask Gartner's Dale Vecchio. have a look at this video on http://www.platformmodernization.org/Pages/about.asp <SNIPPAGE> I think I will have to challenge this COBOL statement. Come to think of it, the SORT statement as well. But first, how will they compare a COBOL program on a non-z/Architecture machine to a z/Architecture machine? You will have to normalize the two machines to each other to determine if the one COBOL is faster than the other. But then, that rather obfuscates the whole point. Take their mainframe slamming with a bag of salt.
