Mainframes
 he
majority of my experience has been in the mainframe area — as that is what I normally work with in my
employment-type opportunities. Almost all of that experience has been in non-MVS-type
environments, too. However, I'm confident that I still have much to offer (even in MVS-type
environments) after
the many years of strong experience and much accumulated knowledge in the areas listed in the table
below.
Hint: Don't
believe all the hype that the mainframe is an outdated and overpriced concept
that can easily be replaced by a minicomputer or a microcomputer network:
achieving a significant reduction in staff and hardware costs without
sacrificing power and functionality. That is a myth. For example, today's microcomputer
(a.k.a., a PC) may seem cheaper and more powerful than a mainframe on the surface,
but this is only because it services a single user. Try attaching upwards
of 10,000 users (which mainframes can easily handle, and more) and just see into what
kind of troubles and costs you will run. J
Operating Systems

Installed and
maintained many releases of VSE over the years. I also enhanced the
operating system several times with code of my own — not to mention,
much application programming and analysis. |

Installed and
maintained releases 4, 5, & 6. |
| MVS/SP |
Database
Programmer/Analyst &
Application Programmer/Analyst |
I don't remember what
release this was. The database group was not part of the systems
group — go figure. Also, as an Applications Programmer/Analyst, I
was not so concerned as to the release of the operating system. |
