VS COBOL and ADABAS/Natural Mainframe Recent Prospects
Dear Rick: I've been out of the field (driving a truck) since March of 2005. I'm thinking that due to retirements and natural attrition, combined with the fact (please confirm) that companies are not retiring their mainframe systems like everyone thought, what are job prospects for a 48 year old...

z/VM Linux
We currently run IBM Websphere on z/890 1400MIPs mainframe under z/os 1.7. How do I calculate how much capacity I require if I migrate to WCS z/VM LINUX?

svchost.exe
When I was working with win 2000 advanced server, suddenly it became slower and I started checking the running processes using task manager and I found 4 svchost.exe are running and one of them with PID:916 was using 38000K memory. After sometime the server became normal and everything is OK now....

Number of records in the Flat file
I have a huge Flat file in the Mainframe. What is the quickest way (utility, TSO command or TSO function) to find the exact number of records in the file? Thank you for your help!

QSAM Buffer
We are writing to a QSAM output file which we will require in case of an abend. The problem we are faced with is - what happens if the job abends prior to all the records in the QSAM buffer being physically written to the QSAM output file. Are there any JCL statements that can force the QSAM buffer...

Batch FTP Question - Server to Mainframe
I recently tested a batch FTP which gets a file from a Unix server and downloads to a flat file on an IBM mainframe. When I run this on our test box, it creates a fixed block flat file of 128 bytes. When I run the exact same batch FTP on our production box, exact same server, it creates a...

IMS conversational transactions
I am looking into IBM's IMS SOAP Gateway to expose our IMS transactions as Web Services. 98% of our IMS transactions are conversational. I am looking for possible ways of exposing them as SOAP/Web services without acquiring WebSphere or IMS Connect for Java on the Mainframe
