Re: Rolling back the COBOL program changes.

This is why we have Version controlling in place ..

Your shop architecht should have designed the changes in the right order for releases...

Re: Create a AI Bot for mainframes.

AI is something that can think on its own and act of course you need to program for those think n act 😊 Rather asking for idea , come up with a idea and work on it and reach out when you have technical challenges someone will be here to guide you [ Post made via Android ] http://zmainframes.com/ext/...

Re: Create a AI Bot for mainframes.

It's how you name it.. An Automation idea could be called a AI BOT..

Any automation idea could qualify for A BOT.. Have you thought any?

Re: Mistakes new programmers doing in start of the career?

I generally ask my trainees to create new mistakes while you learn so you remember how to fix them in real time.

Re: Wierd Syncsort issue

Hi

Yeah I convinced the Syncsort support team there is some problem and on further deep down analysis it was found that when the system is A the job is failing but when system is B it is not failing.

They wanted to convert this using OUTREC I am trying to figure out a way for the same.

My understanding that SYSOUT of the sort step mentions which version of SYNCSORT has been used in second line like

Syncsort x.x.x.x

So at 12 PM I saw 2.1.3.0 is used and after couple of hours 1.4.2.0 is used, In the mean time the job fails
