Hi Joe,

I am surprised at the interest. It seems I unintentionaly hijacked a
thread because it had some relevence to a some work I was doing. I hope
I did not offend the originator of this thread and that he will accept
my appologies.

The system in question belongs to a client of mine who have been
Unix/Oracle for long time. Business take over has resulted in them
inheriting the AS/400 systems and applications and their intention is to
replace them. This decision will not be reversed. It is their company
policy and I am only a small outside contractor. I have no influence.

They are stuck with CICS systems at V3R2 with no opportunity to upgrade.
However, this situation has been in place for a number of years now, and
still they cannot get rid of the the AS/400s. They expect the AS/400s to
go on for at least 1 or 2 years yet.

Perhaps with PASE or AIX there are opportunities yet for the iSeries in
this environment. It seems I may have an education job on my hands as
well as programming.

Regards
Syd
