They are taught the mainframe is OUT, heard this for decades. Not understanding other systems/platforms NOT their agenda.
I blame IBM for not doing there own marketing to SLAM these IDIOTS. Appeasing these people not the answer. Education LACKS people that understand or want to understand. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of kekronbekron Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2021 10:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: even an old mainframer can do it ** EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION ** Objectively, this has got to be madness. Just look at the JCL that's being shoved into a horrid, horrid Python program. ~200 lines to replace 18 lines of JCL. Oh.. and that's leaving aside the condescending tone about 'the old mainframer'. Whether a person wants to learn something or not (therefore choosing their path) is up to them. They don't need to be harassed/shamed about it. Just because there were some people on mainframe forums consistently harassing everyone with "check with your site's system programmer / RTFM / etc.", it doesn't mean the woke folk need to return the favour by being passive aggressive or insulting senior sysprogs for not wearing neon shorts or whatever. If this is being paraded as simplification, now the mainframe is truly doomed. https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2Ftheropod%2Fthe-journey-from-jcl-to-python-so-easy-even-an-old-mainframer-can-do-it-f088cc49366a&data=04%7C01%7CRon.Wells%40OMF.COM%7C35cfe8dec6fa4d23d67508d961fc900c%7C57c0053cb5f84a1e8bb6e8afa09f3b82%7C0%7C0%7C637648559662358705%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=mR3xUIE8Tiu%2BbqSIUODs05n%2FBP%2FbGRC7MjdbjUuwQQQ%3D&reserved=0 - KB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Email Disclaimer This E-mail contains confidential information belonging to the sender, which may be legally privileged information.
