aflores57 1 day ago quite a collection of documents. I was looking for CICS related manuals but I could not find them.Thank you for keeping this bitsavers 1 day ago if you mean you couldn't find them on bitsavers, look under ibm/370/CICS
lokinorkle 1 day ago Great! Still in use today at some retailers like Costco and Best Buy! rbanffy 1 day ago If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.3270 is a very efficient form of distributed computing where terminals and their controllers control a lot of state and the mainframe is in charge of the more important things. It was a browser from the 60’s, mostly 70’s. bitsavers 1 day ago There are packages available that screen scrape 3270 streams and reformat them to export as html. rbanffy 1 day ago It’s really a quite simple transformation. All the core ideas are the same, just the presentation is different. bigfatkitten 1 day ago Close! Costco is 5250, which has many similarities.They are a very famous AS/400 shop. Finnucane 1 day ago Heh, up until a few years ago our inventory system ran on an AS/400, and we had to use 5250 emulators to log in. Don't miss it. _JamesA_ 1 day ago The problem wasn't the AS/400 (IBM i) it was the 5250 interface. That's throwing the baby out with the bath water. bigfatkitten 16 hours ago And even then, as with any other UI model, application design plays a massive role. FireBeyond 1 day ago A lot of gas companies are too, especially on the distribution side. Actually AS/400, and VMS. And very recently. SoftTalker 1 day ago VMS is very good for high-availability systems.

Very nice, thank you.
