1.3.5 Staff Availability
In recent years S/390 application and system programming resources have
become increasingly more difficult to acquire. This is particularly true for the VSE
user. As the current information systems curriculums focus on the more current
technologies, the traditional VSE system programming, and to some degree
OS/390, skills are not being replenished. This coupled with the current high
demand for year 2000 programming resources has only added to the pile of
reasons that VSE users migrate to OS/390. While some amount of VSE skills are
transferable to OS/390, focus is placed on developing JCL and operational skills.
