The are running on an old IBM mainframe.
I haven't been a systems programmer since os/mvt 20.6 - I went into software development and forgot most of what I knew.
I do have a MVS Hercules system that I play with. I think it is great.
I think the New Jersey problem is the 3081 is too slow.
A PC with an Intel I7 or I9 with nvme drives running Hercules would be a lot faster, more reliable.
They are hoping to convert cobol 77 to program package Zos cobol.
Have you got any ideas on how to migrate from a real mainframe to Hercules?
