I recently did a z/VSE to z/OS conversion. There were assembler programs that were not recompiled in 50 years. Yes, fifty years. They were still running. Also, they were written to use ISAM and they were currently using the ISAM transparency feature of VSAM to read/write KSDS file.

Impressed with the depth on this list from the contributors.  I am getting back 
into the z-series software and application development after years of being in 
another domain.

Here is a very broad question: when you guys/girls are moving your app 
portfolio from one hardware platform to another (say, z14 to z15), to what 
extend are the apps compatible with the new platform without recompilation?
