I almost don't believe it !

  PC   --->   MAINFRAME

I've spent the last eight years doing the opposite !

What is happening ?
It can't be the luddites !


Sorry, it's so long since I started using JCL, I haven't been on the
lookout for "JCL for newbies".
IBM manuals are just as friendly as (n)ever !
Apart from the local specifics, JCL can be so straight forward,
I could write a short summary !

It would be really interesting to hear the circumstances which lead
to PC-SAS sized applications being up-sized to the mainframe!

Please explain!
