Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi everyone, I'm passing through really and wanted to stop off to say how much I liked this forum. Very well put together and professional looking.

I haven't as much experience as some of you guys that I've been reading about here, but back in the early 70's I worked on a couple of mainframes, a Burroughs B2700, and an ICL1902T both as operator and operator/asst programmer. Languages used were COBOL and Fortran/Fortran IV along with BASIC.

I'm pleased to see a forum that is dedicated to Mainframes, I have many fond memories of my time working with them. (though some of the memories are a little rusty these days lol)

Nice to meet everyone here and my best wishes for the future success of this forum.

Hi DarkLord,

Welcome On-Board and Thanks for introducing yourself - it's nice to see you here...

I never knew that you worked with Mainframes and that too during 70's, the golden era of Mainframes...great to know that.

Thanks for encouraging words and warm wishes. I look forward to your contribution to this Board on the Technologies you mentioned about and hopefully, you'll find this Board Helpful and Enriching.

Keep in touch,

Regards,
Ad

Thanks for the warm welcome. It's nice to be able to 'reminisce' about the old golden times, even if just for a short time.

I'm not sure I am experienced enough to be able to contribute much to your forum? My experiences were a long time ago now, and probably don't have many similarities with today's standards. So I hope you don't mind an 'Old Timer' just posting snippets where and when he can?

It's nice to have caring people around. I know your experience will be a saver for me in the hours of need.

Have a nice stay here,
