Der Mr. Marx,
thank you very much for your interesting post and attached documentation for your VM/CMS USM/VM
tool! How about suggesting a presentation on it (motivation, concepts, deployment, nutshell example)
at this year's International Rexx symposium? According to the address in your signature you are
living a stone's throw away from Vienna (and if you give a presentation there the conference fees
get waived) so it would be practically without any expenses for you.
As you have seen there are quite some interesting people from the Rexx community that you would be
able to meet in person, many of them with mainframe experience and/or need. Therefore please
consider submitting a presentation with a title, an abstract and a brief bio and send it to
<mailto:presid...@rexxla.org>!
It would be great to meet with you in person in May at WU!
Best regards

Hello, Mr. Flatscher!
As a retired zVM, zVSE and zSUSE Systems Architect,
I am very happy about this invitation!
During my active time from 1970 to 2012,
I mainly developed a lot of programs using IBM-Assembler (including
Macro-Assembler),
PL/I (i am proud, an Austrian Language-Development) and from the end of 1970's
VM-Rexx and VM-Xedit.including the support of Rexx and the Rexx-Compiler.
I still love Rexx, because the Syntax is so similar to PL/i - Syntax!
My colleague and i developed with Rexx a Programming platform PGMV for our own
10 programmers within VM-Shared File System, to control who is updating a
Programming Source,
with preventing double updating a Program at the same time and also to document
within
a simple table, who had really updated the Source with the last Date and
Timestamp.
With the power of VM-Rexx it was really no great challenge, I can say today.
After programming a lot of Maintenance-Tools in VM-Rexx for Z/VM and z/VSE
i mean, i created a cheap *User Security Manager* Software package for our own:
*USM/VM - User Security Manager for z/VM*
It was my masterpiece for securing Login and Password Management for small
z/VM-platforms,
because the original IBM-z/VM-RACF costed about 140.000 Austrian Schillings
same time!
I created this software complete with z/VM-Assembler and z/VM-Rexx-Compiler..
You can look into my original documentation, if you are interested.
I am still eager to learn about more of Windows integration within Open-Rexx,
because this is still a new world for me (i did not learn Object Programming)
Yours sincerely!
