We have never used ICCF, only CMS for Applications
Development and Production Control.  I'm sure you
can understand why.  Management has had us stuck
in the 20th Century and now seems to be ready to
accept the migration from the mainframe has taken
so much longer than expected they have to upgrade.
Only CMS compilers are gone.  CMS VSAM is gone.

Please give us a Staement of Direction regarding
CMS itself--don't keep us in an office pool about
its EoS.  Is that too much to ask?

If so, we need to plan to move those functions off
CMS as part of the upgrade.  Management may very
well decide to continue limping along while they
beef up the migration effort.  Frankly, I wouldn't
blame them, as VSE has never been really profitable
either, has it?
