I've been involved in a migration recently and the customer is now live running on Windows 2003 using ACU COBOL and SQL Server. We've got a JCL interpreter to cope with the JCL which is generated on the fly by this customers application. Stream jobs are submitted to a server process which emulates some of the MPE OS features which were hard to emulate in other ways. They were using dsline quite a bit which gave us some grief along with the IPC intrinsics. Message files are catered for but not circular files (they weren't used by this customer). I don't know what printing issues there were -no doubt there were some but it's not something I got involved with. To be honest, I don't think we've touched the security features of MPE so that would be an issue. I've been involved with various migration products over the years and MPE certainly seems to be one of the most challenging. Every time we get a new customer, they want some other feature of MPE that we've not come across! Keeps me off the streets. -- http://www.beluga.freeserve.co.uk * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
