As mentioned in another post, some long-standing practices of CA1 customers could originally be accommodated in RMM only via exits. Business SOP here depended on these practices, so we had to write some code. Over the years some of these oddball practices were 'normalized' as parm keywords replacing exits. Just be careful that RMM fits your CA1 usage or can be adjusted via keyword or exit code.
Another difference is the nature of the data base. CA1 uses (at least used to) an FB data base with one record per block, essentially one block per defined tape. The size never changed except under user control. Maybe a bit PITA but no surprises. RMM uses VSAM that can run out of space and require compress. This is *always* a surprise unless you regularly keep an eye on it. Compressing the RMM data base is not rocket surgery but requires stopping RMM on all sharing systems until you're done. Definitely PITA. . .

We did this conversion many years ago at a site and it was a non-event.
