Thanks for the response.
I don't know if I'd dismiss IDE's out of hand so quickly. My own
experience is limited to the Microfocus Mainframe Express and it
provides an excellent replication of a Z/OS environment in terms of
JCL's and files and so on. Much quicker to compile and execute a
program on my PC rather than submit a job and be 32nd in the queue or
something.
The built in animator/debugger is also really sweet.
I don't know if Microfocus's claims about savings on mainframe MIPS by
moving coding and unit testing to the workstation are correct- MFE is
a spendy piece of s/w.
