 Or do you think the above is what the mainframe
 should be limited to ?
 
Or the wonderfullness of mvs and tso ?
         00003 JOBS 00006 INITIATORS
         00000 TIME SHARING USERS
         00000 ACTIVE 00008 MAX VTAM TSO USERS

With wonderfull error messages like
   - TSU 5 IEF450I HERC01 IKJACCNT TSOLOGON - ABEND S522 U0000 -

 I mean .. comm on Mr Luddite ... linux is the best thing s390 has
 seen since CP/CMS showed up

 and to replicate the function of scripting languages ..
 dont you use REXX at least ?

 Common man ... did you lock yourself in a glass house
 with a 360/67 and are still hiding from tha man ?

 Things have been happening out here, we have had this
 factor called "progress",, there has been advancement !
