One recurring horror show was APAR fixes in EWS for the Communications
Task. They were obviously untested and consistently had EQU where they
needed DC.
>Expectations/hopes for the future?
Ability in SMP to RESTORE a PTF with an update without having to
restore a prerequisite that updated the same element; that is, I'd
like for SMP to rebuild the element from the DLIB zone.
Ability in SMP to update an element with RECFM=VB.
>Changes since the beginning?
The biggest change in the z/OS family tree was the advent of SMP. Now,
those familiar with SMP/E might legitimately say that the original SMP
was an abomination[1], but it was much better than the manual
tracking that preceded it.
