What comes next, I wonder?
Isn't this whole thing the result of coming up with a convoluted way to have new era stuff get resources cheaper than traditional COBOL and other processing? I have looked at this whole ziip and zaap mess as something that would motivate me to move off z. It also looks like ziip and zaap usage may introduce security exposures. I have seen work that was on MVS or OS390 moved to HP-UX successfully and worked on some of the moved jobs and processes.
