One of the options open to us is IBM's Websphere Studio Enterprise Developer." "It is my job to draw up a list of functionality for our existing tools (a mixture of tools by Compuware, CA, IBM, etc.). This list will be used to see if the replacement tool can/will provide the same functionality that the other tools provide. I was wondering if anybody else who manages development platforms on the IBM mainframe could share ideas." Think you can help? If so, please share your thoughts and suggestions.
