Don’t get me wrong these were great systems back in the sixties and seventies but technology and standards have passed them up along time ago.Įven Unisys has a Java Virtual Machine that runs natively on their OS2200-based Clearpath mainframes (can’t speak for the A-series/MCP side), supports third-party web servers, has native TCP/IP and CIFS support, etc. Hardware is at a point where it is just as reliable or more reliable then IBM closed systems. However 9 times out of 10 there are COTS packages that would suffice with little modification. Again the reasons that these relics are still around is becasue porting custom applications developed for these antique platforms is not easy to do. These systems do not play well with anything outside of IBM designs not to mention they have horribly outdated interfaces. Versus hugely proprietary IBM systems like MVS and AS/400(iSeries).

“When all types and brands of hardware and software equipment are interchangeable and able to function together.” “Open systems provide a standards-based computing environment, possibly including but not limited to UNIX,TCP/IP,APIs,and GUIs.” No i am not talking about Open Source i am talking about Open Systems a few definitions. Since there is no mass market TRULY open hardware, I assume you mean open SOURCE. Oh well, just thought I’d put my $.02 in. Personally, I wouldn’t trade it for a web frontend, but then I’m a geek who also prefers a command line to X (unless I’m web browing). Not alot of people like using the green screen though. We still don’t have a web frontend to our system, but we do have web-to-host access. Unfortunately, it’s been unsupported therefore they really haven’t implemented anything real. It seemed that CGI apps written in RPG seemed like a better way to go.

Then they found how to do CGI apps with RPG. We did try runing Websphere express, and tried Webshere Studio (or whatever it was) to write Java apps (sevelts and stuff) to access the data and present them in a web browser. We’ve been struggling with this for a long time now with the iSeries. Although, pointy haired bosses want web integration. Sure, they’re all green screen applications, but I feel that for data entry (and other jobs such as inventory inqueries and a whole lot more) the green screen beats a web interface any day. It’s amazing what our in-house developers are capable of. They can use what they already know, to make applications that work that are lighter and faster than using Websphere.Īt work, we have an 810 box that runs a completely homegrown application system in RPG/RPGLE. I have seen first hand how easily RPG developers can create dynamic webpages without having to learn Java. I think IBM wanted to push people to Websphere therefore dropped support for CGI using RPG (and others). Was it really EOL’d because of IBM thought people didn’t want/use it, or because IBM wanted to push iSeries developers to use Websphere.

I said if these morons can’t figure out how to convert their COBOL code from one standard to another (let alone another language) with 250 computer scientists, they should pay ME ten million dollars and I’ll solve ALL their IT problems – and still make a nine million dollar profit, most likely. How huge? Well, they had a two hundred fifty man computer science department WITHIN the IT department. This was an insurance company with a HUGE IT department. Years ago some moron manager at one of the big insurance companies sued the COBOL Standards Committee because they came out with a new standard in the late nineties, and this insurance company had spent tens of millions of dollars and hadn’t finished converting to the LAST standard the Committe came out with. This crap was OBSOLETE TWENTY YEARS AGO and becomes more so with every passing day.

Somebody wrote a rebuttal letter mentioning that while the IBM author of the original piece talked about “user friendly”, one of the System/38 utilities had a name like YSYSWISHFHIDIW or some crap like that, which he didn’t think supported the author’s concept. I remember reading an article about the System/38 in one of the academic journals. Now I suppose we even have “Object-Oriented RPG” or some more stupid crap. The small business machines were total CRAP. I worked on System/32’s and System/34’s using RPG II and COBOL. “a modern power based iSeries can still run System 38 software.”
