"It's important, this is one of the reasons why mainframe is considered 
obsolete."

I'd argue just the opposite:  

 PRECISELY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CHANGE ANYTHING,
 THE MAINFRAME WILL NEVER BE OBSOLETE.

Subject: Re: Old usercatalogs with IMBED and REPLICATE

I still have a few, very old, catalogs with IMBED and REPLICATE. Why?
That's what was "in vogue" when they were created. Why not recreate them?
Reverse it, why should I? If I do, then I have to make sure that I don't mess 
up. And I must do it between 3 and 9 p.m. on a Sunday because that is the only 
possible "gap" that I can use. And if I use too much time, people will complain 
because they normally have that time to do things that they want to do.  So I 
leave them alone because by converting the correctly buys me _nothing_ and uses 
up my time. But make a mistake and it is Atlantis submerging under the waves or 
Santorini exploding. Not worth the pain.

This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been an actual 
emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
