We don't run z/VM any more due to ... nevermind. But I do have a curiousity question. I am wondering how many need VM/VSAM simply for the VSAM API to a "keyed" file. And how many really need the VSE/VSAM interoperability? VSAM, at its base, is a fairly simple API. Duplicating IDCAMS might be a bit harder, but doable. Sharing a VSAM file with VSE/VSAM would likely be too difficult to emulate.
I guess that I'm wondering if the community could come up with a functional replacement for VM/VSAM. That would be a nice FOSS project. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
