Re: Fwd: 3 aging IT specialties that just won't retire

2018-12-03 Thread Knutson, Samuel
Timely this quarter's ezine from Long Pela ventures some thoughtful opinions on 
Exits

http://longpelaexpertise.com.au/ezine/current.php

LongEx Mainframe Quarterly - Nov 2018

A Fresh Look at Exits
Not the normal exits you think of when there's a fire in the building. In z/OS 
terms, an Exit is a hook we can use to insert our own code into the normal 
processing of z/OS and other systems. This month, we're taking a look at these 
Exits.


Best Regards,

Sam Knutson

What utter nonsense.

Well, you can write some exits in REXX.
However long term goal is to avoid exit coding. Avoid assembling
configuration data.
More and more things can be done without assembler.
While I use (and customize a little bit) some exits, I won't say I
know assembler. And I'm administering 24/7/365 banking system for 18
years.
So, yes - assembler coding knowledge is less and less required, while
there is neverending demand for COBOL developers.

I’ve talked to employers who still won’t permit things like remote work, so how 
desperate can they be? They want mainframe skills, but on their terms.
