Also note that if you see a current job-ad for Fujitsu Mainframe skills in the UK, it will be for an ICL Mainframe, running VME, and being distinctly different from... anything from IBM. The COBOL is to the 1974 Standard (with Extensions, including COMP-5 which allows the definition of "bits").
Various parts of "the government" have huge projects at the moment converting their old ICL systems to Microfocus COBOL on "servers". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
