[QUOTE="Star B, post: 2983839, member: 61246"] Persistence was not generally permitted back in the day due to memory constraints. Memory was a premium back in the day and the mainframe was designed to process the command, collect data, display, and forget. Sometimes, it would autocomplete the next command for you so you just could hit enter and keep moving. In this instance of screen1/2/3, it would be a perfect use case for the glue logic. I've also noticed that the FX system is quite different than other mainframes I've used. In the FX world, you don't have to worry about cursor position. In my previous life, the system could present you five options and all you had to do was arrow to the end of that line, hit enter, and you are on the next screen. Documentation rot. Incomplete documentation. Useless cataloging and the inability to search. All symptoms of a company that doesn't want to focus and spend the resources needed to improve productivity. We could take 1% from upper-mgmts bonuses, invest a tenth of that into a documentation team with the sole purpose of removing dead wood and we would improve productivity of all core employees. I almost died when I saw a CSA pull up something with ROADs in Excel... W.T.friend.! Not even the pax airlines are that freaking convoluted! [/QUOTE]
