Clark, I seriously doubt COBOL is on a deathbed considering how java performs on a z/os. Secondly, a serious amount of banking is on legacy machines in COBOL. Banks aren't going to convert if it costs more money Scott ford www.identityforge.com On Aug 31, 2012, at 7:39 PM, Clark Morris

John, With what heard about the Java performance hit, it's relativity a slow performer. What I see of C it's ok but, the documentation, good examples are lacking. The data types especial strings with z/os bring different than UnixI know these languages are evolving, my comments are negative

Sorry, what I was trying say was that Java is a slow performer and C of Z/os outside Unix System Services is awkward based on examples I have seen and used. Where COBOL and Assembler don't suffer from these inadequacies. The are more seasoned languages Scott ford www.identityforge.com On Sep
