Re: New IT personnel

What the heck tool were you using on Mainframe that made it easier Dave? I have used both ISPF and CICS and would describe COBOL on IBM i as a breeze compared with either. Heck not having to worry about state is a blessing.

Hmmm...one is a COBOLer? Is your shop limited to RPG only?

Making the transition from mainframe (Z-OS) COBOL to the midrange is
not that hard - he already has a great headstart. His biggest problem
will be interactive design/programs - much easier to learn on the IBM
i than the mainframe ;-)

I wouldn't say that. I've been doing interactive programming on
both the mainframe (38 years) and the IBM i (26 years). I find
interactive programming on the IBM i to be much harder. But, YMMV of
course.
