Do we need to recompile to run MVS COBOL and COBOL II? What about CICS to migrate? We currently use CICS/ESA V4.1.0 -- our "Transaction Server" -- do we need some code change or just recompile? Do we need any code change to migrate? Do we need all COBOL programs comply with COBOL 85? What are minimum requirements for migration?" >> For Tom's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid604019_tax285603,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=489649 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MICROSOFT RELEASES HOST INTEGRATION SERVER 2004 | NEWS Microsoft is offering newly updated software for customers that want to expose mainframe applications as XML-based Web services. >> Click here: http://search390.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid10_gci1000876,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=489649 ____________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED TOPIC | When Tux met Big Iron: The quiz It's a fact of life that opposites often work beautifully together. Nothing goes better with fiery buffalo wings than cool, creamy blue cheese dressing. Linux on the mainframe is very similar. It's the perfect wedding of the reliable and stable zSeries platform with the flexibility and innovation of Linux. This week, the editors of Search390.com have created a quiz to test your knowledge of Big Iron Linux. >> To take the quiz, click here: http://www.search390.com/featuredTopic/0,290042,sid10_gci1000511,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=489649 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DOWNLOAD | Free chapter from "Murach's Mainframe COBOL" Search390.com has a free chapter from "Murach's Mainframe COBOL" just for you. The chapter is an overview of writing COBOL applications for the mainframe. It'll introduce the mainframe facilities that are integral to COBOL programming such as ISPF, JCL, CICS, and DB2. >> To download it, click here: http://search390.techtarget.com/whitepaperPage/0,293857,sid10_gci1000076,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=489649 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | So much for the 'Can Spam' Act! If spamming were an Olympic event, the U.S. would get the gold and maybe even a few endorsement deals. An e-mail security firm found that nearly 90% of the spam sent during the past four months was made in the U.S. Most of it was not exactly wholesome either; a lot of the digital bilge might make Dr. Ruth blush. Oh, and get this, according to CipherTrust (which surveyed the spamscape), about 200 people are responsible for most of the spam. So to paraphrase Winston Churchill, never in the history of correspondence was so much frustration felt by so many, thanks to the annoying habits of so few.
