Hopper became frustrated that there was not a simpler programming language that could be used. So, she set about writing her own programming language, which famously came to be known as COBOL (an acronym forCOmmonBusiness-OrientedLanguage). ...
It’s been more than 11 years since Paul Conte, a reputable application development strategist, formulated the main lessons ofIBM application modernization. Summarizing the knowledge gained during the initial legacy business app modernization boom, he came up withten reasons why these projects fail. B...
The idea they came up with was to have a common architecture shared among the lower-end, less expensive machines and the priciest high-speed models. The top-end models would perform 40 times as fast as the low-end models. Keep in mind that applying the word ...
Generative AI tools can translate code from one programming language to another, saving developers time and reducing the risk of manual errors. This is helpful when modernizing applications, for example, translating COBOL to Java. AI-powered code generation can also help automate the repetitive coding...
My father was a Systems Analyst who worked with COBOL on Univac and then eventually IBM systems. I went with him in spring of 1982 to a ComputerLand store to purchase an IBM PC. I seem to recall that we went into the store on a Saturday wearing jeans and the salesmen were wearing sui...
How can traditional IBM i development languages, like RPG, CL, DDS or even COBOL, be integrated into the process used by other development teams using modern open source tools like Jenkins, Git and JIRA? Watch this webinar to know more!
. He also mentioned that they had full-time employees who’s job it was to find and change out defective or out-of-spec tubes! I was absolutely fascinated. Then in 1965 I learned Fortran IV programming via punch cards at Washington State University. Next I was playing around with my ...
1.2.13 QDIO buffer configuration Since z/VSE v5.1 (with PTF UD53905), the number of QDIO input queue buffers can be configured. This ability might be needed by clients who extend z/VSE solutions by using Linux on System z that use a HiperSockets network for high-speed TCP/IP ...
You would have thought that with over 50 years of Assembler Programming behind me there’s not much more to learn New mainframes, new techniques and new versions of HLASM means it’s still a changing world and I have to keep up with the changes ...
what else…COBOL. 😁. I got into homebrew CPU several years ago, and my first design and build was a microcoded 16-bit CPU. I drew inspiration for it from the M68000 (instruction set) and DG MV10000. I could have never done that with hardwired logic. I’m presently laying out a...
