Lost SAS many, many years ago. Basically we are bare bones. The only compiler is COBOL (and increase in price is going to cause problems - big .. BIG problems). We have HLASM, but I think that is again "bundled". And we have REXX, which is likely a "no go" because the programmers don't know it and therefore cannot support code written in it (and I'm not going to!) . All the UNIX we have is just the free stuff. But nobody likes UNIX other than myself. Most others who even know it is a part of z/OS have an active dislike for it. It is neither z/OS nor Windows.
