In my experience, and from what I've seen elsewhere, it's far more common for the sysprog staff to be part of operations than vice versa. In larger shops, though, they tend to be separate organizations.

One of those suggestions is moving our Computer Operations section be part of and managed by the Systems Programming manager. I am curious about how the other mainframe organizations that are watching this list are organized, and what their approximate overall company size is. Along with any other details or pros and cons you want to throw in. We are a VM & VSE shop with five Computer Operators and three Systems Programmers. Thank you
