Re: Mainframe as a career.
Yeah but my friend is in Data-science and works on Python project and makes Rs. 18,00,000 with just 5 years of experience. That kind of a salary is impossible for anyone in mainframes.

Re: Mainframe as a career.
Mainframe as a career has lost the charm. Many of us who had been working in this filed and don't get competitive salaries, while on the other side another person from a different technology with same experience are being offered much better salaries. This is the case with India. In fact in one of t...

The UNIT parameter was used to specify the precise device (or group of devices) for an allocation of a data set. SMS was announced in early 1988 -- 24 years later -- so there was a LOT...

Re: UNIT parameter in JCL.
Depending on how your site is set up, using UNIT=DASD may be ignored -- or it may cause the allocation to use the wrong storage pool, causing various problems. SMS is System Managed Storage.

Re: .TXT file conversion to .CSV/.XLSX
You can send the file as "notepad" only or ".csv" file which looks like "notepad". We send them a lot and I have not see that the file is opened in excel by "double-click". We need to 'open it with excel".
