I wish I was so fortunate. We're still on 7.2, and a few years behind on
PTFs. I'm, hopefully, about to rectify the PTF situation.

We've had a tendency to stay behind the times where I work, but that is
slowly changing. Back when the adventure began migrating to our POWER8 box,
I was a mainframe z/OS operator. On the midrange side, we had a 9406-270 at
V5R4 with a single partition used by our accounting and payroll departments.
The bulk of our users used an in house written CICS/IMS based system on a
2086 mainframe running z/OS, version 1.11 if I remember correctly. Many,
perhaps most, of the in house written programs making up the system dated
back to the early to mid '80s.

In April 2018 we migrated from our mainframe based system to LTL/400 on our
POWER8 box. Our programmers spent a few years adding custom code to LTL/400
before the switch. It was a bumpy ride for the first several months after
the switch. But the dust has settled, and we finally have time to breathe,
and think about things like PTF updates.
