You're converting from VSE to Micro Focus? Traitor!
As an act of compassion :-)

Oh, one other comment. I believe Micro Focus has a product that will
allow
you to keep you VSE JCL. You might try contacting them.

I will keep this as an option. I have contacted a company which has
some sort of JCL-Interpreter. The MF/Stuff is somwhat to tightly
integrated into their stuff. This would lead from one addiction to
another.

Seriously, though, I have to ask what type of VSE workload do you have that
you are migrating to MF and Unix? Are you migrating just batch
applications, or CICS applications as well? If CICS, what are you using on
the Unix side to run them? Mainframe Express MTO?

We're not looking to move off of VSE, but sometimes (often) VSE seriously
pisses me off...

Just curious: What level of VSE are you using? Have you checked the new z/VSE V4.1?

I'm not a VSE person. I deal with z/OS exclusively. I'm just curious, and sometimes the most recent IBM announcements to not always make it to the people who need it most.
