Re: CICS/400

Hello Jack,

Having gained some experience on both MVS and OS/400 (and their respective
successors) over the last few years, the nicest thing I can say about MVS
is: handling it feels comparatively clumsy.

It "just grew" in an era when nobody knew what computing could do or how it
should work.
OTOH IBM i was an example of "family planning".

An interesting comparison.

IBM i is certainly easier to use.

Because its predecessor came much later, yes.

But z/OS is more fully equipped in many ways.

But this is not necessarily a reason for clumsiness and complexity.

:wq! PoC
