Thanks! I was going to mention Marist but I totally forgot about SHARE. And you're right about it taking experience and time. I was lucky enough to have a UCLA advanced assembler instructor sitting next to me at work for many years, so I could just yell over the cubicle wall if I needed help, which was much of the time :)

Hi Tom,

I believe that Marist College still offers mainframe assembler on a fairly regular basis. There is also an Assembler Boot Camp often offered at SHARE. I have completed both of these, and found them to be very useful. Not enough to step right into Assembler development work, but enough to help me support and update in house routines and exits as well as customize vendor exits.

I meant "Fun" which is a little different.  I just liked the interesting way 
the author put things together.  The content is sad of course.


So, my advise is not to find new uses to the mainframe, just make it
affordable for clients.

Uh oh... don't forget "Grow or Die".


If the number of shops will grow (traditional
mainframe use), the number of universities will use and teach Mainframe.
BTW, a college in In north of Israel offered students a free course of
mainframe.

Glad to see the class was offered and accepted over there.  There are some 
colleges here in the USA that offer basic mainframe courses, but I think a 
college assembler course would be hard to find.
