Thank you for let me understand why mainframes were so important to me and to computer science in general. DFSORT, as you said, was one on the best software ever written by IBM. And that company changed my life forever.

Man, I work with DFSORT/SYNCSORT all the time. Another great video, Moshix.

Thanks for the video,
It will be really helpful if you upload some video regarding COBOL DB2 precompiler process and the concept of DBRM Bind, Plan, package, collection.

Would like to see some demo on Easytrieve

Do you plan to create more videos on DFSORT for a more complex sorting? like using include/omit and/or EQ, GT, LT ?...or a video on ICETOOL?

I'm curious how it got the name ICEMAN, there must be a story there.

Hi, thanks for all your interesting videos! I have setup TK4- on my own system just for fun and learning purposes. However, apart from running the z/OS 1.10 unlicensed, is there any other OS I could use to run SQL on?

What would be an acceptable price for a S/390 card. It would be as close I could get to a "real" Mainframe. Hercules is faster, but these cards are sexy.
