System Rexx is quite useful. I used it to replace CA-7 and CA-OPS when we
dropped our CA licenses last year.
Granted, we where on the path towards today's final shutdown and our automation
needs where diminishing.

I actually know very little about ICHENITY. I have, however, always understood
it to be a dangerous, use at last resort tool. Requiring rather detailed
knowledge of the RACF database structure. Or, maybe I am thinking of the direct

I converted sometime last year. The Redbook wasn't really helpful, as RMM has
several newer features that help match CA-1 behavior. RMM support was very

I wrote a analyzer of DFHSM messages. Here, the most convient language is
Natural. Which allowed me to generate the subroutine name base on the error

The course I took in 370 assembler out of the Struble book made learning COBOL
At my 1st job (a paying internship) a trivial matter. Never looked back. I
haven't counted the languages I've had occasion to use (or many I guess modify
existing code in) in the last 42ish years.

We drug 10 years out of a z9. Last several years, it would have been cheaper
(hardware maintenance and z/OS license charges) to upgrade to current model
minus 1 or even current model.
But, the mainframe was going away. Our 5 year contract with a MFaaS site
runs out in October and it is
