I believe they have different purposes: John asked for a JCL diagrammer;
FLOWASM is a HLASM formatter.

I haven't seen the enthusiasm for an analogous FLOWJCL that I see for
FLOWASM, perhaps because:
o JCL lacks the lexical richness (complexity?) of HLASM.
o Programmers code fewer lines of JCL than of HLASM.

Re: A, 470V/6, etc. (was Software Delivery on Tape to be Discontinued)

[Steve Smith]

Howdy, Dave!

The 470's arrival was slightly before my time (I worked there '77 & 
'78), so I didn't know (or remember) the actual story of how it got its 
proper coloring. Amdahls were supposedly red, but it was definitely 
enough of an orangish hue to cause offense :-).  The only burnt orange 
tolerated in College Station was the Thanksgiving Eve Bonfire.


I wonder if it's coincidence that tu (sorry, THE UoT) also got an 470.

Gig 'em Aggies!

and was set up in the machine room, replacing the old IBM S/360-65, the

had the Amdahl CEs take the covers off, and out to the parking lot, where they

school colors are MAROON & white (burnt orange belongs to that silly little

Few people saw it though, as it was kept in a room by itself, kept at about
60 degrees.  The powers that be were paranoid about it overheating (Amdahls
were air-cooled, as long as they had power for the fans; otherwise they
melted).

I bet yes, but we also know there won't be such demand. Only serious
companies do buy a lot of MIPS and their requirements are also serious.

Re: The evolution of IT infrastructure – from mainframe to server-less | ITProPortal

[Knutson, Samuel]

The world is far from serverless and the mainframe is the most efficient hyper 
converged system you can operate for transaction processing.
The article seems to lack a global perspective.  Linux, open source and cloud 
providers are powerful parts of the world wide computing infrastructure but the 
Fortune 1000 as well as nation states world wide and the worldwide GDP are 
driven by mainframes.

A more balanced perspective on the cloud is that it’s a good market to consume 
commodity services but you can't buy off the shelf replacements for custom 
applications with 10's if not 100's of thousands of many years of development.  
Those applications run on IBM Z because they are the digital DNA of successful 
enterprises.   A different perspective is that the world is evolving towards on 
premise mainframe and the cloud as the predominant platforms.   On premise 
commodity solutions and x86 may well be the endangered species.   The mainframe 
is the only platform CIO's surveyed indicated they believed were sure would 
still be in their data center 5 years from now.

View this for short three minute set of thoughts that expand on why Mainframe 
and Cloud get along just fine.
