I remember the AS400 series.. although I never worked with one. What kind
of business still use that stuff? Is it for large corporation accounting,
MIS stuff?
Some banks still run legacy systems on AS/400s, and I've seen them used for
airline booking systems and retail POS.
Sadly there are many larger corporations that have oodles of legacy code
on the Mainframe. We run z/OS and IBM DB2 here. In my off time I fiddle
around with Python in an attempt to make life more enjoyable - and one of
these forays has led me to attempt to unpack some packed data. Which is
also an interesting (if not terribly useful) project.
