Thanks Scott. Let me see if I understand this. It sounds like your
developers, when starting changes for a program, use git to "check out" the
source code to their workstation. Do they make changes, save locally, FTP to
z/OS and then compile on z/OS? Are these last two steps (assuming I am
understanding you) "automated" in any manner? Or do they have to "manually
FTP" and then manually submit the compile job?

Subject: Re: git, z/OS and COBOL
Frank and Kirk:
Yes we are using Assembler and Cobol in GIT.
At least one person has said they are using git for source code management
of their z/OS COBOL programs. A few questions, if you don't mind.
1) Did you have to eliminate the line numbers in columns 1-6?
-- We dont use them
2) What do your developers use for their COBOL editor? ISPF? Off platform
IDE?
-- We upload to z/OS sandbox
-- JCL compile there
-- Unit tests
3) Do you compile using JCL or UNIX?
4) Do you have a 'direct' file system connection (NFS, SMB, etc.) between
z/OS and workstations?
-- GIT CLONE to Linux and FTP to z/OS
5) How much UNIX knowledge do your developers need to be productive in this
environment?
-- I am the only one with Unix knowledge, everyone else is not unix savy
6) How do you connect to z/OS UNIX? ssh? TSO OMVS?
-- see above
7) Do you use a GUI/visual merge product? How?
-- BeyondCompare
8) Anything else you'd like to add
HTH Frank and Kirk..
