WHERE MAH MAINFRAME PEEPS AT!!? SPIN UP UR #DASD!

Can't say that I've asked an #LLM write #JCL yet, but Todd Ogasawara has!

Nice blog post from @JoeWinchester about some of the ways @OpenMFProject #Zowe has been modernizing interaction with the #mainframe

For instance, yes, you still need #JCL, but what if you could automate a syntax check before you submit it? No problem! 🤖

Oh my. D2 has made it to nationals, having placed 2nd with her #Latin song performance at the Texas #JCL meet.

#Kubernetes makes my brain hurt. #EKS is a nifty layer of abstraction (complete with its own set of impenetrable acronyms) that acts as a force multiplier for the hurt #k8s brings.

Man do I miss the simplicity of #COBOL and #JCL, maybe a little #CICS, sometimes.

Today's #tea is Persici Flore, a blend I definitely bought (along with some others in the same collection on Adagio) entirely because of the Latin name. :-D Fortunately, it was an enjoyable cup! I'm picky about rooibos, but adding a peach tea to it is highly effective and the other floral tastes blend well w/ the rooibos jasmine too.

Today's #knitting is a recently finished purple and gold (and feather and fan my beloved) hat to sell at #JCL convention!

For the older folks who are not on the #chatGPT train yet, I've asked chatGPT to write some #JCL code ("Write JCL to store a dataset called ChatGPT on tape.").

My JCL knowledge is rusty these days and I don't have access to a #Mainframe to verify if it works, but here's waht chatGPT came up with:

#AI

Even with thousands of likes on Facebook or many thousands of subscribers on Youtube but no one to call from the hospital bed. Life is still meaningless. #OnePhobia #JCL

@mysticpilgrim Long time for me also. #JCL #SQL #TSO phone calls in the middle of the night.

His dunks on JCL are hilarious #FredBrooks #JCL #column73 #mainframe

A while ago I wanted to learn how to write a compile JCL for COBOL on z/OS. There are quite a few courses on COBOL for z/OS but hardly anyone tells you how you can compile it. I made a video on what I learned. You can watch it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IonjlUy2k4g
