And I wonder how many still have the S/36 environment because they can't
remember if EVERYTHING was converted or if there might still be some
obscure program out there...

I've been known to dip into the old FINANCE library to calc a mortgage now
and then...

Sequence was Sys/3, Sys /34, Sys/38, Sys/36
The funny thing here was, and , I don't think there are enough people
around to remember this , but
the Sys/38 (father of the AS400), was over-sold to business in North
America, and moth balled by firms for many
moons, because, there were insufficient numbers of highly trained people to
run them.

That's another reason why IBM, rushed to put the Sys/36 out in the market.
The S/36 was so popular, that even to-day, on the current release of OS400,
the Sys 36 Environment is still
supported.
I'm very curious to know just how many companies are still using the S36
Environment.
