I recall several incompatibilities that required source changes.  Some of
these were removed in later releases of Enterprise PL/I, but that didn't
help early adopters.

Burroughs did all of that, in a much simpler way. We let the MCP handle
allocation to unit record and mass storage devices rather than fixed
assignments in application or JCL.    If the resources weren't available, the job was
suspended until resources were assigned by the operator.

Applications never needed to know about channel programs or even what
type of device was being used, and its preferences (e.g. 9 track vs 7 track)
could be overridden by the operator or by using a file equate when
the application was executed.

All disks/packs had full filesystems with named files; no track allocations
were required to be specified by the application or when the application
was executed.  All mass storage media used fixed block addressing.

Automatic volume recognition (and assignment) was standard.  As soon as
a tape (or disk pack) was mounted and recognized by the MCP, any pending
jobs waiting for the new volume would be automatically released from the
waiting condition and would continue execution.

This was during the late 60's through 2010.

George was the name of ICL's operating systems. The JCL for George 3 
(1900 family) was obviously derived from BASIC. New words for attaching 
peripherals.

Depends on the system.

On the IBM System/34* the control language was called OCL.
At first glance, it looked a lot like JCL.
As you used it, you fell in love.
Even though the machine was "smaller", the control language
was a lot more powerful.

But UNIX (hence AIX) got it right, in my opinion.
A system should support lots of ways of starting programs.


* My experience was with the System/34,
From my reading, the language has just grown
through the S/36, S/38, AS/400.

I should confess that I use REXX quite a bit. But never on an IBM 
mainframe.

I've experimented with non-mainframe REXX but see no reason
to prefer it over Perl or Python.

I use REXX a lot on the mainframe though.

Too bad IBM hasn't promoted REXX to a full-fledged job control language
in z/OS.  You still need JCL to start it.

Unix and unix-like OSs date from around 1970, so pretty archaic there too.

You miss the point. Compare IBM operating systems (particularly things 
like CMS) in the mid-1980s, with something like VMS, of the same period. 

The IBM systems are really crude by comparison.

re:

CMS was from mid-60s ... a descendant CTSS ...
.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multics

As CP67/CMS grew, the group split off from the science center and moved
to the 3rd flr taking over the (IBM) Boston programming center. When it
outgrew the 3rd flr, it moved out to the vacant SBC bldg out in
Burlington mall.

I periodically mention that in the wake of the death of Future System
project in the mid-70s, that the head of POK convinced corporate to kill
off VM370/CMS, shutdown the Burlington Mall development group and move
all the people to POK (or otherwise MVS/XA wouldn't ship on time in the
80s). They weren't going to tell the group until the very last minute
but the information managed to leak (there was witch hunt looking for
the source of the leak, fortunately for me, nobody gave the leaker up)
and lots of people managed to escape and stay in the rt.128 area. There
is a joke tha tthe head of POK was one of the largest contributors to
VMS.

At least one of the people from Burlington Mall group went to Prime (as
did some number of Multics people).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Computer

The company was successful in the 1970s and 1980s, peaking in 1988 at
number 334 of the Fortune 500. In 1985 the company was the 6th largest
in the minicomputer sector, with estimated revenues of US $564 million
[1] Much of this was based on the US Banking industry where the Pr1me
Info database was widely accepted.

... snip ...

something similar can be seen in the VAX numbers ... referenced here
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002f.html#0

... with workstations and large PCs starting to take over the midrange
market (4300s experienced similar fate).

In the early 80s, I tried to get a project to do a brand new system

group). My proposal got absorbed into an official corporate sponsored

I find it hard to accept that the OS can't be improved without
compromising compatibility.

This is software, it's almost infinitely expandable.

they went thru 24bit to 31bit to 64bit ... and they are still expanding
on the 64bit support. with a drastically reduced market size and lots of
customers focused on compatibility and maintenance ... they don't have
the large thousands of programmers any more. Its pretty much a static
and even declining market ... so unlikely they would be attacting many
new customers (there is still even periodic discussion about CSA storage
that has to be located in the first 16mbytes of memory).

as previous posts about the latest mainframes versus servers
... mainframe systems are still running several hundred thousand $$$ per
BIPS while servers are pushing into the under $1/BIPS range. Also
existing market is looking at moving more & more things to the cloud
... which is all server technology (big megadatacenters with hundreds of
thousands of systems). I found 1qtr2014 mainframe financials ... which
was the equivalent of 14 max-configured EC12s, 56 max-configured EC12s
on annualized basis (several years of EC12s sales would be handled by a
single processor chip wafer run, which possibly contributed to the
decision to unload there chip manufacturing foundaries). recent refs:

I've also conjectured the megadatacenters required using open-source
software ... since there was a whole lot of evoluation had to occur for
several hundred thousand system megadatacenter environment (compared to
the dominant closed proprietary mainframe operating system).

Wow.
