Re: CICS/400

For anyone who has ever done S/36 MRT programming CICS is pretty simple.

For those who grew up on the S/38 / AS/400 with the "why should I have to worry about state information?) mentality it is much harder. In some ways it is the same reason that programmers with that background have difficulty getting their heads around web programming. S/36 MRT programmers find the web a breeze!

I’m about to remove it from a customer’s system. Eons ago they tried to migrate a mainframe application to the then AS/400 and the project was finally dropped. Mainframe folks did not want to learn IBM i ( or OS/400 as it was then called, or CPF for us really old ones) and the IBM i guys could not learn CICS.

They still have both……

Not surprising. :-) From what I've learned over time, it's really two distinct worlds. Not only about technical differences, but also about the mindset and sensitivities of the involved people.
