out thousands of assembler language programs and replace them with JAVA
code all with the aim of modernising his mainframe. The interview went
badly when I asked why he thought he had to discard years of development

Very little from what I see. What little
there is is stupid stuff like reverse engineering code so that the client
can rewrite it in JAVA or whatever the language of the day is.

One of my P/390s has the bus and tag hardware and a 3174-11L connected.
(Well, technically they're R/390s and RS/370s, but still...) I also have a
3174-63R talking via Token Ring.

I also think that what many of us seem to forget is that skills need to
be used to stay sharp and to learn new things in that field.
If you are not doing Assembler a fair amount of time, the skill dulls.
Some of the worse assembler I have ever seen was written by people who
had not written it

Jay,
Have you got a 3174 also?
I wrote code in 1981 that invoked GDDM/PGF to write to 3279s. It was fun to
see it display pie charts, bar graphs, etc. Very cool for the times.

The current situation sounds like SMT-2 should only be used if you
a) have a single zIIP
or b) are running your zIIPs consistently 100% busy
and for b) you need to turn it off when the workload reduces?
I don't think that that is a correct conclusion. It is far more complicated
than thinking

Because one of the first instructions is SAC 0 and you told LOCASCB via

I drove 1800 miles over the long weekend, and now own a real live

It's more complicated than that. Although I would agree that if an LPAR has
only a single zIIP, likely SMT would be a good idea. But B is not true for
intervals that people usually consider when looking at utilization levels
because at the level of dispatch intervals, it's much more likely

Equating college and systems programming is not really logical. I'm not aware
of any colleges that "teach" how to be a systems programmer. I think some may
have tried, but I doubt it would be a big draw.
I have a PhD, but I didn't learn to write assembler in college, at least not
any that
