IBM Z/OS

I started with IBM Mainframes on Z/OS as an Application Developer. I quitted UNISYS a few weeks ago. IBM Mainframes and maeterials are cool going compared to UNISYS.


This is my first ISPF screen to Z/OS.
As of now i feel its good to see black and white ISPF screen which do less harm compared to color full windows.
