I agree 100% but here is our problem: "What's the difference between obsolete hardware and obsolete software?" Obsolete hardware is in a museum - Obsolete software is in production running your business.

That's the root reason why you have p roblems with quite elementary things. I don't criticize you, but I criticize the shop. You missed at least 20 year of improvements. SMS is 30 years old, catalog much more. BTW: I use code (partially) written in 1970's, but it's under current mainenance, it works with z/OS 1.13, DB2 (younger than the code!), and other really current features.
