No ads, no sponsorship, just a free place to get mainframers together.
A gathering place for the mainframe community.

[Pete]

So how do I access that with ISPF?

The same way one accesses any gathering place with it, I'd guess.


Ah, yes... Wait til TSO is not busy (yeah, right...), try ISPF, get sick
of
waiting so knock up a quick REXX script to automatically keep trying
until
success. Only, by then forgotten why I was visiting anyway... :-)

I just love the idea of a bunch of mainframers all "gathering" on a
blog...
It's like having a waterhole but they haven't learned to lap yet, and
nobody
brought a cup... :-)

No cup? Not a problem, Mr Dashwood... there'd be a mainframer there who
might know enough about tools to be able to Assemble one.

:-) Fair enough.

Magic, the Gathering...

As someone who MIGHT be getting a mainframe programming contract, I
assume that Pete is being sarcastically tongue in cheek. Most of us
access the Internet from Windows (like me) or Linux PCs. I keep up
with some non-mainframe blogs and the blog mentioned in the posting
has not gotten good reviews from ibm-main@xxxxxxxxxxx which is
mirrored to bit.listserv.ibm-main. There are shops running mainframes
as Internet application servers. Some shops are using Websphere.
