Back in the days. There was CMS for MVS in the early 80's. One of the developers was a regular at SHARE and I guess resigned due to the decision to shelve it for 'Marketing Considerations'. Went on the shelf right next to the Clist Compiler-CLIC. In a message dated 2/10/2017 6:58:25 P.M.

Don't know about the rockhopper, but we cabled up an emperor a few months ago. Looks just the same as the z13s sitting beside it. It isn't 8 core, it's 141. Yes, it's IFL only and uncapped. I think kvm was an option, but we've used zVM from the beginning on the shared boxes before we got

For the PARM, the setting of Language Environment option CBLOPTS determines whether parm information on the left or the right of the / goes to the COBOL program. The CEEOPTS DD is a very convenient way to do it. Having said that, if it is a simple exercise program, you may be able to bust it

There used to be loyalty, back before constant cost-cutting. I stayed at one place for 15 years in the 80s and early 90s. However with constant cost-cutting, the term "full time employee" is a misnomer. All it takes is "management by airline magazine" and any concept of a full time employee

Re: System Symbol For Master Catalog

If the master catalog is tied to the IPL volume, you can name the master catalog volume in a way that can be derived from the IPL volume serial, and then set it from the value of the system-defined symbol, (If it's not, I don't know an automatic way to get what you want.) Andrew Metcalfe

Job Loyalty

Loyalty is dead in the workplace. Companies will dump you in a flash unless they have an immediate need, and employees should be ready to take any better offer which comes along. I coined a phrase many years ago "No company will pay you as much to STAY as another will pay you to GO".
