I used ROSCOE in a couple of sites. Once you got used to it, it was better than TSO EDIT with the same footprint.
RPF was easier to master than ISPF/PDF and it had a lot of similarities with REXX. I regressed back to a DOS/VSE shop for a while. A 4331 with 1 MB of memory. We managed to run CICS with ADABAS and write all the code in PL/I. ICCF was our only editor. It was a dog. A few years later I found myself in another VSE shop and they had VOLLIE. Way better than ICCF. On Fri, Sep 8, 2023 at 10:42 AM Roberto Halais <[email protected]> wrote: > This list is becoming like Tik Tok. Enough. > > On Thu, Sep 7, 2023 at 8:37 PM Lance D.
