No contract involved, I am afraid.  Just a humble grunt who shot off
his mouth in a meeting that Java batch programs/processes are sucky on
MVS and now trying to find something to back me up!

While I am all for SOA and WebServices and real-time, I just don't get
how we will send out bills to 200K clients each month in any fa****on
other than a batch process that runs at month-end.  And to rewrite
existing program from Cobol in Java just because some policy-wonk
mandated that we will be an all-Java shop in 5 years...

Oh well- same story different players!
