The non-IT thing is interesting.
At my company we have many application developers that started elsewhere at
the company. Me, for one. I personally had previous IT skills, and some
schooling in programming, but most of the others I believe did not.
Do non-IT people make better COBOL programmers? Why might that be?

Last week I taught a COBOL class for five days at a
small company up in Boulder. They have a refreshing
approach that I thought was pretty cool, and I wanted
to pass it on.
This company (I'll call it 'A') is a subsidiary of a
large transportation company ('B'). Although they are
small, they run z/OS 1.12, use COBOL 4.2, and so on.
* Each Spring for the last two years they go to the local
university career day and talk with students about to
graduate
* Eventually they settle on four to hire
* Then, they make their job offer through a contracting
company ('C') with the understanding if they work out
after a trial period, they will be hired to work
directly by 'A'
* But what's cool is: a) they only interview students
with little or no IS / IT background and b) even
though the students will technically be employees of
'C', 'A' arranges to train them
The training is done by a mix of in-house people,
myself, colleagues, even competitors
The result is a small cadre of new employees entering
each year, sort of 'raised' in the local IT culture.
The new employees are solid and quickly productive, and
they have a long lasting loyalty to the company. The
current employees are, generally, pleased to see the
company expanding the workforce (after all, the new
kids are lower on the totem pole, as it were).
Although the program is new, it seems to be working very
well (I had a chance to talk with some of last year's
new hires as well as a few managers).
So somebody is hiring for z/OS applications developers.
I consider that to be a little good news anyway.

The talk went to dollars and cents I stated the price of a z box has dropped big(for our size shop) but the cost of purchasing dasd is still high along with maint. His question was why can't mvs use scsi or san dasd, VSE and VM can. We looked around the web could find nothing on it. Thoughts?? thanks Mace FlexCUB. But it only supports Escon, not Ficon. It emulates 3390 on SAN / PC type disk. I think part of the problem is with the support for legacy PDS and files with hardware keys. Searching a PDS directory for a member is a very simple CCW chain. And is used a lot in IPL and NIP. So the first thing that would need to be done is to have IPL and NIP be able to support PDSE. Or, even better, something which has members but is superior to PDSE. I don't know why z/OS cannot use the CMS file system. It works, as you said, for z/VM. Or use whatever z/VSE uses for its libraries. I'm not z/VSE literate. And then there is the VTOC. It also has hardware keys. Now I'm curious how z/VSE supports FBA disks.

What sort of mainframe can do this? How many CPU's would it take? How many CPU's are the maximum? As any discussion of capacity or performance requires, it depends. You're not going to fit that much CPU-intensive workload onto any mainframe available today. You could fit that many 0-1% busy systems on a couple of IFLs. Real life workload is going to be somewhere in between (big surprise). I believe (without having found the person or persons that originated this number) that the 1,500 number came from extrapolating the average CPU busy of a modern Intel system to a full-blown z10 EC. As usual, marketing trumps technical details. I also read in z/Journal that the lines between a mainframe computer (the z10 to be specific) and a super computer are being blurred. Given that most supercomputers these days are clusters of hundreds/thousands of Intel or PPC boxes, no way. Mainframes are good, but they're not magic as we well know. When I was at GuideSHARE Europe two years ago (in Dresden, lovely city) they had a hardware guy there next to a z10 with the nice green stripe down it, and he told me that the mainframe is great for transactional processing, as always, but not too much suited for WebSphere, Java stuff, etc. That's why they had to add speciality engines, etc. Well, that's how I remember it. If that was indeed what he said, then he was confused. Specialty engines were introduced for sales/marketing/political reasons, not technical ones. IFLs, the original specialty engine, were created specifically so that customers could add Linux workloads to their existing mainframes, and not have the additional capacity bump up their z/OS software charges. That worked so well that zIIPs and zAAPs followed, but for z/OS only. (Linux systems don't need them because the pricing is different to start with.) It's not that CPs are not well suited for things like WAS, or DB2. It's because customers resisted buying more of them because of the increased software costs. If IBM were to replace all the zIIPs and zAAPs with standard engines, and your software costs didn't change, customers would be much better off since they would get the full use of the engines, and things would run just as well if not better. Of course, that's not going to happen, from all that we've seen o! ver the years.

The answer would have just as forthcoming on those lists, but fewer people would have benefited from the answer. The odds are that more people on this list are going to be introduced to Linux on System z than anywhere else. From what we've seen at SHARE, System z Expo, and here, at some point most shops are at least looking at Linux (and z/VM), if only to figure out if it can be ignored because it's not a good fit for them. In those shops, it's the z/OS guy/gal that is most likely to get tagged for that job. That's the reason I (and a number of other people) subscribe to this list in the first place. We're not looking to learn more about z/OS (I already did that for 20+ years), but to be available to answer questions that come up here about Linux and z/VM. It's much better to receive a quick, accurate answer than to be told go ask somewhere else when we're all part of the same community. Now, more in depth questions should certainly go to those other lists, but high-level stuff like this is entirely appropriate here.

We have about 5000 Double-(blue) and 3000 triple density(green) Carts, due to the sensitivity of the data on them, company policy prohibits us from transporting them to the mother ship who is in the process to devouring us, even though they are encrypted, so how do you destroy them, in a eco friendly way if you cannot even sell them on. I personally think that the companies that sell them should take them back without charge and do the destroying under supervision of internal auditors of the companies involved. Any experience from you guys that have gone thru similar situations? In general, you have two choices: 1. Erase data, keep the media. If you want to keep the carts usable, you need to erase them in a drive. I believe it means half an hour per cart. - Approx. 50 cart a day, so it would take one drive for half of year! 2. Erase data and destroy the media. That means you use degausser. You can buy or lease it. 8000 carts should be degaussed within a week or faster, assuming one person working with it. After degaussing the cart are unusable. You can hire a company for degaussing the tapes on site. There are other methods of destroying the media - shredders, burning, acid, but they're more expensive or not eco-friendly. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul.

Yes it does some prior draw backs was it did not support ESCON which it does now and even though it supported parallel channels, you could not connect them to DASD controllers I have only seen it used at one MVS location , but many VM, VSE shops due to the fact IBM does not have a low mip solution for them Edward E.

As has been discussed in recent messages on this list, encrypting tapes is not always a simple matter. In general, encryption and decryption must be built into the applications that are reading and writing the tapes, which means that the appropriate encryption software (and sometimes hardware) must be available at both the sending and receiving sites. In this case, the bank was sending data to a credit bureau, so it was probably two totally different applications writing and reading the tape, possibly on two different operating systems, possibly on different hardware.Encryption was probably not so simple in this case.
