South of England:
CICS 'kicks'
IMS 'eye em ess'
VSAM 'vee sam'
IDCAMS 'id cams' (id rhymes with lid)
zOS 'zed oss' ('zee arse' makes me snigger internally :-) )
JES3 'jez three'
SQL 'sequel'
IFOX00 'eye fox zero zero'
Incidentally, the DHF prefix in CICS was explained to me as 'Denver Forest
Hills'. Was some CICS work done in Denver?
