Any converts from VSE?

[Will Townsley <wtownsle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am the Director of an IBM VSE data center. We have been
operating with VSE (mainframe operating system) for 25 
years. Given the growing capability/complexity of VSE and
our relative marginal growth (k12 education) I have been
considering the possibility of conversion to another
platform. I would like to know if anyone else out there 
listening has specifically made the conversion from VSE 
to AS/400 or know someone who tried and gave up.

We currently write all of our own applications in COBOL with
a little bit of Assembler for batch and interactive (CICS). 
Moving to AS/400 would give us the opportunity to buy packaged
software when appropriate and move to a less complicated
environment?
