Mainframes are going to go back in style with complex graphics and AI processing.

Folks. Appearance is everything and lack of attention to details kills your credibility to be taken seriously. A $15 Bluetooth lapel mic off Amazon would create a monumental difference in perception if you’re going to put this stuff on TH-cam. Don’t mean to be anything but honest with you! I like the idea of OMP and even potential involvement but I see a fair amount of stuff that could be much better without a lot of difficulty. 🤷‍♂️

You talk about installing Zowe on Mainframe, seemingly to one system only. How would you build if you have to support >100 systems?

A real shame you did not build a USS package to do this. For most Z/OS System Programmers in large organizations, installing programs on desktop is highly restricted. Installing programs to USS is fully internal to Z/OS, so much more accessible.

zOSMF workflow?

Poor audio, poor video, poor presenters, poor demo, poor content. This has nothing to do with COBOL/cobol but more about themselves & Cobol Check. Just poor.

himanshu kiran's part was best in mainframe

Awesome 👏 Aditi !!

sure would be nice if you allowed easy access for retired mainframers to login and compile program, and maybe help others?

Good luck on your new channel from 🇬🇧- very interesting topic 😊

Nice interview, very helpful!!

Thank you, loved being Interviewed! ❤

insightful conversation and i feel mainframes follow lindy effect i guess.

Great conversation with Dusty, glad to see someone who's been in the mainframe field for 47 years and is also open to the new methods and technology that's being intergrated with the Mainframe. At my place of work all the elder mainframers are very resistant to anything open source or anything that is not done through a 3270 emulator. It's been a struggle.

Question. Where do i start to learn mainframe and cobol, do learn both at same time, where do i start. What should i concentrate on

Oh you guys still have webinar

This discussion really helps me. I was beginning to feel stupid for bit. Cobol workflow is more natural to me

for the ones following the IBM free training in COBOL, on 1:30 "lets create a new profile" you have to go to the left on VS code and click on the Z icon , and you are going to be able to set a new profile, then do as explained on the video, and finish on Lab 1 Guide for IBM

There are thousands of us Old Retired COBOL Mainframe programmers. We know COBOL, we know ISPF, we know JCL. Is there a quick way for us to get on a mainframe portal (is that what Zowe is) to compile source code. If so, we could help struggling students.

I remember using IMS also. The reason we used it was to do On-Line screens. The BTS screens were tedious but it was all FUN ! Used IMS online during day and then batch processing at night. Then went with DB2 for some of the databases.. thanks for the memories. Yes it was IMS DB/DC !

Very interesting

Very valuable insights

I am proud to be a fellow Pinoy programmer. I retired 2014 and now actively going for mainframe modernization. Open source is the future.

Cool

Just a retired mainframe SysProg (2019) popping in - getting a surprise. Although I retired supporting z/OS, I also supported z/VSE and z/VM in the not-too-distant past. I was moderately surprised to see that IBM did finally retire their involvement in the DOS/VS(E) environment. I am glad that it will live on under 21st Century Software. (I thought that IBM would keep it as a z/VM Only Guest OS. I guess that I was wrong.)

I changed my device and now the connection to z/os option wont appear. Please help

Please, next time I am a Mainframer with Ray Overby

where do you download cobol check?

Cut the music track out please

I WORKED WITH COBOL THEN RPG-II AND PL/I. I ALSO WORKED WITH ADPAC CORP FOR ADPAC PROGRAMMING AND I ALSO WORKED WITH ALC AND BAL. I TOOK FORTRAN, PASCAL, C, C++ ETC...I WORKED WITH CICS, IMS AND DB2 AND IDMS. YOU CAN LINK TO ME ...I WORKED AT IBM SANTA TERESA LAB IN SAN JOSE AS A VENDOR WHEN I WAS IN SAP.

Can someone please give me access to a mainframe? I choose COBOL in 1989 under DOS 3.3 (over DBase III +, which rest of my classmates choose as they feared COBOL compiler errors) but ah never got my hands on a mainframe.

I choose COBOL under DOS 3.3 in 1989 (and learned, while my classmates left due to it's difficulties) over DBase III +. Ah but never got a chance to work on a mainframe, otherwise my carrier have gone to different path.

For those of us who are old 3090 analyast developers this is a steep learning curve. is there any chat features available or some way to communicate the best way to get over the initial hurdles?

Well I am finding vs code to be very intimidating and very overly complex I'm trying to get back into the business after being retired for 15 years and I'm finding it to be almost impossible to figure out what the heck is going on. I signed up for the IBM course for vs code Mainframe but they never sent me any credentials to log on. from what I am seeing the microfocus Cobol and opencobolIDE are a much better thought out solution but that just might be me being frustrated😢

Are these steps applicable for SuSE 12 SP4 x86_64?

Thanks everyone for the great video!

Excellent 🎉

I’ve been taking IBM lessons with Zxplore using the Zowe extension in VS code. All of the sample programs have been written in Cobol. Can Zowe submit a jcl job that runs SAS code?
