• Developing applications in REXX and CLISTs

  Gary from SA has also asked for this topic to be opened.  I suspect this may get some interesting responses - ranging from "Don't" through to the benefits of REXX over Clist or vice-versa. Personally, I love REXX - it's quick, flexible and powerful - since moving to REXX from Clist I've never looked back.  But use it for a production application?  Hmmm  Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit!

• Web Services and the Mainframe

  A friend of mine in South Australia has asked if I could open up this topic.  Gary is an IDMS guru (bless his heart) and I suspect is going to be a regular contributor to Bruce.  Gary is interested in knowing how much interest there is around our community in Web Services (or SOA) on the Big Iron, who is doing it, success stories, difficulties, which CA products (or other) are being used, security issues, etc.  So - over to you share your knowledge...
