I am assuming the question refers to both batch and CICS COBOL programs ... The environment we're talking about is a z/OS 1.3 system with TS 1.3 (soon to be 2.2) and DB2 V7 potentially talking to SQL server running on Windows 2000. We also have WebSphere on the Windows 2000 platform if that would help." >> Click here to see the response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid536614_tax289214,00.html?track=NL-168&ad=482999 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED TIP | Girding for grid computing CICS have been around for quite a while but they can be used with the latest and greatest technologies such as grid computing and Web services.
