We still use it. Not for anything new, mind you. But spending the money to convert unsupported applications from ISPF to "something else" would likely be more expensive in the long run.

We still run ISPF and ISPF/PDF. The last fixes I put on were Y2K related back in 1997 or 1998 IIRC. Is anyone else still using these products? Since they are so stable and no new work is being done on them, should I still be paying as much to "license" them? What scares me is that the price will jump significantly if we decide to move to a new z-box. And we will still be doing the exact same thing with them that we do today. None of the new cycles/MIPS will have anything to do with the products. Is there any validity to my thoughts or should I just accept that the software pricing is what it is and deal with it? I would appreciate any comments. Thanks. Ed Zell Illinois Mutual Life Insurance (309) 674-8255 x-107 .
