In addition to the usual week of technical sessions and hands-on labs, SHARE is offering the special program event "Getting to z/OS 1.4." This program event consists of more than 16 hours of z/OS-related sessions, access to IBM experts, and user experiences designed to answer your specific migration-to-z/OS 1.4 questions and concerns. I will be at SHARE Dallas this week and would love to hear some of your migration-to-z/OS stories. So if you see me walking by and would like to "share" some of your upgrade experiences, please stop me and we'll chat. If you're not going to SHARE, please send me your migration stories via email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. See you in Dallas!  Featured Topic: Using JCL to FTP by Robyn Lorusso, Assistant Editor JCL can be likened to a restaurant menu.

Both are new, modular servers to which components can be connected. Blade servers are thin units that can share a single chassis, and users can add additional processors or "blades" to them.
