1401 COBOL claims to run on a 4K machine. I was trying to find the core
requirements for the 1130:Disk Monitor II, but it was designed to run in
minimal core and swap everything from disk.

It ran on a minimal 1130, 4K words or the equivalent of 8K bytes.

It was not, even by the standards of the time, fast.

Many 1401 programmers told me COBOL and FORTRAN were simply
too big effectively to run on any 1401, even a 16k machine.
That is, you could run them, but they'd require multiple
passes and be very cumbersome.  Not sure how popular
1401 RPG was, but it seemed almost everyone used Autocoder
or SPS on their 1401.

Now, for the 1410, which allowed more memory and was
faster machine, I don't know.  But I don't believe
COBOL was very popular in those days anyway.

I believe people who wanted to use Fortran used
a 1620, not a 1401.

In the Univac shops where I worked, we wrote programs in RPG
if practical, or assembly language otherwise.  There was a
COBOL compiler, but rumour has it that it only existed to
satisfy a requirement for a government contract.  I played
with it and found that it was not useful for practical purposes.
I'm not sure about a Fortran compiler; the business applications
we wrote were not suited to that language.

We upgraded a Univac 9xxx machine to a 90/30 and had
many RPG programs.  

RPG was written for the 1401 intended as a way for tab
operators to transition from plugboards to programming.
How effective it was in practice I don't know.

RPG exploded when IBM upgraded it for the System/3 and
its successors.  I think the modern RPG is very
different than the original.  The original had a
built-in 'cycle' that was basically abandoned in
later versions.

RPG was available for S/360, I think it was the same
version as for the 1401.  Again, I don't know how
widely it was used.

Today, RPG stands for other things, such as role playing
game or rocket propelled grenade.

Don't think so, but I never saw RPG on a 1401.

RPG started to come into it's own in the S/360 20.
That was similar but not the same as RPG on other
models.  The main difference was the order of the sections.

I never encountered RPG on a 1401.
I do remember being shown some FARGO.  That was the tab machine
work-alike.  Even our tab people thought it was a waste of time.

> Today, RPG stands for other things, such as role playing

Back then it commonly stood for Rubbish Program Generator.

If you kept your specs simple and were willing to compromise RPG on a
model 20 was okay.  I took a night job were I did all the coding
for a business on a model 20.  That worked out pretty well.

At a few S/360 shops we attempted to use RPG but if you
don't want to compromise to the language it doesn't work out so well.
All those efforts failed.

Later on I got to use RPG II on a S/34.  The new language features
really helped.  The built in cycle was still there, but it was easy to
work around.   But even then, I rescued a failed attempt to design
a system using only RPG II.  The main edit/update programs in RPG
just didn't work and couldn't be saved.  We brought in the COBOL
compiler and used it for the more complex programs and the project
succeeded.

When I was doing 1130 stuff some of my fellow employees were doing /20 RPG.
I guess most things worked out OK, but there were one or two programs where
they attempted to do stuff RPG was never intended for, and there was a lot
of griping.

People keep picking on Perl.
When I write it, it looks a lot like C code.

I don't like some of the features that make the code
hard to follow, so I just don't use them.

As a Perl person (by choice, more than by need), I
could not agree more.

By the way, I think that Javascript is far worse from
the language perspective.  You can (probably?) have
good Javascript, if you don't use the whole language.
Of course everyone is bitching about it, but it still
manages to be very popular.

And actually the same applies to C++: there are
features that only a madman would use, in my opinion.
People just do not use them, and that's all.

To really appreciate the warts on C++ you have to
try to support build procedures for templates.

If I recall correctly on the UNIX side HP's compiler gave us loads of
issues.  But nothing can compare to what IBM did on the mainframe side.
I believe there were 3 alternatives, all complex and with various
drawbacks.  No ordinary mortal could understand them so just a couple
of us got to choose how to set it up and diagnose problems.

I created a ISPF panel for name demangling.  That helped me figure out
issues for others but what a mess.

To be fair, IBM was trying to integrate external names in mixed case of
indeterminate length with it's long standing 8 character upper case
external symbols.  It was amazing they got it to work at all.

I came late to C++ because I don't believe the language you use should
be more complex than the problem you are trying to solve.  But at
my place of work we had a guy that had been involved in C++ standards
and design for a long time.

So, when I finally had enough grasp of the language that I felt I could
talk to him I brought up some of the issues that were bothering me.
To my surprise, he agreed the language was crap.

I happen to write template code from time to time, and
yes, it can be shockingly ugly.  As far as I know
there's even a competition where the winner managed to
generate the highest

  [compiler error message] / [code length]

ratio, and templates are often employed, for they seem

You mean with file names?  I don't think there has been
any limitation with the names of the C++ symbols,
unless you're under some constraint dictated by the
compiler / architecture.

For sure C++ names, with mangling etc, can become a
problem during the linking phase, especially when it
comes to dynamic linking.

There's even a GNU-extension in ELF that aids in
optimizing the hashing for symbols...

No doubt the language is horribly complex, thus crap.
But I'm still surprisied by how far the language went
in making it consistent, to the point that such a huge
complexity never defeats the tools you are provided
with by the standard library.  I think that's a great
achievement

Still, I like C more: it is *simple*.

As for my day job I work as a C++ developer (for the
most part, when I'm not botching on our stupid build
system), and I'm mildly annoyed when I'm asked to make
things more "c-plus-plussy", since it often means
making it more complex for no good reason.

On our HP machines it was pretty much which compiler options
you used.  The developers had to figure out what to put in their
Makefiles.  We also had an official "build system" which had it's own
way of doing things.

On the mainframes the build procedures were MUCH more complex than
just compiler options.  I think it might take me a few days to
describe all the ins and outs.

Where I worked we had multiple attempts to unify development and build.
Never did happen although I did create something on my own that would
have come very close.

Well I started programming in 1964 so quite old is accurate.

But IBM mainframes are still with us and very viable.  I've done all
kinds of work but the last 10 years of my career were back onto IBM
mainframes.  I did all of my development for the mainframe on Linux
but mainframes live on.

Yes, IBM file names and the external symbols used by the linker.

Of course there are limitations on C++ symbols.
Why do you think C++ uses "mangled names"?
You can't very well have a linker seearching for something
called 'signed int xyz (char *, int, ...)'.

Hashing sounds like it could invite synonyms.
IBM mainframes offered a bunch of solutions.
We settled on the one that put symbols into PDS members.
Can't remember what they called them.  Something like side decks I think.

I was on a couple of C++ projects.  Never liked it.

What is the strength of it?

For example, in what situation would you recommend an
IBM framework?

And how come would you use Linux for the development
part?  Is it a matter of convenience?

To support overriden procedures, of course. :)

Could it be a matter of optimization, perhaps?  The
manged is probably shorter, and that pays off if you
have got a huge number of symbols.

If we exclude this factor, I don't think there's a
problem in searching some readable names (as long as
they're in a "canonical form" where, for example
'int xyz(char *)' is the same as 'int  xyz(char*)`.

Collisions?  Well yeah.  But you do comparison of
colliding elements, of course.

I don't know what a PDS memeber is :)  What is it (if
you have time to explain... I'm eager of this pesky
details)?

I'm not the only old guy here.
There are even a few that started a few years before me.

Running code developed in the 60s pretty much unchanged.
Supporting hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users.

They used to say you can't go wrong recommending IBM.
Now, not so much.

I suppose other platforms have transaction processors
but IBM systems can really handle lots of work.

Tt was a matter of the tools available and wanting
to use the CPU on my desk instead of sharing resources
with hundreds of other users.

I was quite good with IBM's development tools on
mainframes (TSO/ISPF).  But that's using block mode
terminals.  We had ported most of the good unix tools
to ISPF and MVS does have a built in UNIX but there's
more good stuff on Linux.

I was able to build UNIX command line tools to send compiles over to MVS
and get the results if I needed them.  I used Perl so if I had a bad
compile, it was a simple matter for Perl to pull back the listing and extract
the error messages and present them in a way that Emacs 'next-error'
understood.  So I could edit in Emacs, hit a key to save and compile
then hit another key to position the cursor on the line in error with
the error message showing in another buffer.

The same process on ISPF was multi-step including hitting enter over and
over waiting for compile results.

I thing spaces, commas and the like are going to present
issues.

Yeah, you don't want to know.
The MVS native file system is nothing like the hierarchical
file systems we've become used to.

Traditional MVS file names are 44 characters max
all upper case, each node in the name a maximum of 8 characters.
If you want to look at lots of files with statistics like
date/time size, who changed it last, you use a PDS (Partitioned Data
Set).  That's one dataset with lots of members.  Each member name
8 characters all upper case.

There are enough details and restrictions to write a treatise.

That's a big win.  Digging through job logs to find the error messages
is always a pain.

Is that code you can share?  I'm currently in the process of
reinventing that particular wheel under Python on Windows and an
algorithm to identify the error messages would be a big help.

That's one of the things that Eclipse/Compuware bring to the table.
You get a notification when the job completes and then you can look at
the output in a reasonably modern editor.

The first time a user coming from Unix or Windows sees a PDS they tend
to think of it as a directory.  This works just fine until they bump
into one of the many ways that it is _not_ a directory.

Nope, can't share it, I wrote it, but it was never mine, it was my employers.
If your corp wanted the whole suite, my employer might be convinced to
just hand it over since it never grew beyond personal/project use.

I might be able to give you some guidance though on various parts.

Okay this might be a long story, I'll trim everything else and read the
rest of the email later.

As I said the company had lots of build systems lots of build tools,
I never liked any of them.

I was convinced their whole approach was wrong as they developed a PL/I
based system that did lots of database searching and the like to
construct compile JCL.

I despise JCL.

So, I came up with the idea of writing CLISTS to do compiles.
The CLISTS could do all kinds of things, like looking at the source code
to figure out any special needs of the source code.

So, I developed ISPF panels to launch compiles with CLISTS.

The panels would accept SUB on the command line or do the compile
in the foreground if you just hit enter.
When you typed SUB, the CLIST would just take some
skeleton JCL that ran the exact same CLIST in batch.

So, I took the panels pretty far, your could put an asterisk anywhere in
the dataset name or member name and you'd get lists of datasets you
could use or members you could compile.  From the member lists you could
submit one or more members for compile.  For the panel interface I had
logic that would look for comments in the source code to see if the compile
neeed the SQL pre-processor or other special steps to do the compile.

That was all pretty good, but it wasn't what I thought was the best.
So, I moved over to UNIX and started developing tools there.

I started with "SUBMIT" which just took JCL, and ran the JCL and
brought the results and/or return code back.  The SUBMIT Perl command
added a job card and a step at the end of the submitted JCL
to get the results.
I passed the step at the end the submitting host name and port
it was waiting on.  So, the Perl SUBMIT would use FTP with FILETYPE=JES
to get the job there, then then wait on a port to hear from the job.

A detail is that you can't get the submitted JCL back until the job
ends.  So that last step would submit another job to do the actual
notify of completion.

So, now I had a way of moving jobs back and forth.

I then starting writing Perl commands for other things, including
compiles.  The compiles all used SUBMIT under the covers.  The Perl
commands would construct JCL and CLIST invocation commands just like
the panels had when you typed SUb.

Okay at this point I have to digress.

As you know when you compile you have to search a whole bunch of SPOOL
members to find problems in either the JCL, or the compile, or the link,
or SQL preprocessor.  I never liked that so I had the CLIST gather
all the compile output into a single dataset.  If you compiled
from MY.PROJ.C(HELLO) and there was a MY.PROH.C.LISTING preallocated,
all the compile output would be combined in MY.PROJ.C.LISTING(HELLO).
There was a separator between each piece of spool output
with step name, return code, etc with a special set of characters
you could search for, I think '=-".
The panels were set up to go there with the "LIST/L" primary command.

So, back to the UNIX/Perl side.

For error messages all the Perl side had to do is look at the SUBMIT
return code and if there was a problem it brought back the LISTING
member, and on the UNIX side it would create hello.listing.

Perl is really good at parsing things and finding error messages
in listings is something it can easily do.  For C the error messages
were all one line and really easy to find.  For HLASM it was a bit
harder, error messages and line numbers were on separate lines and
headings could get in the way.  Still, not all that hard to find.
Emacs expects errors to have a certain format so that 'next-error'
can work.  That wasn't hard to accomplish.  A complication
is that sometimes error message can point to header files or macros.
Still not all that hard to deal with.

Our compile procedures were complex incuding our own site
preprocessor so the CLISTS with all the fancy whistles
might have been 2000 lines each.  Without all the fancy stuff, maybe
500 lines.

The Perl submit command around 100 lines.
the Perl compile commands around 500 lines each.
They were all pretty similar.  I suppose there could have been
one compile CLIST and one Perl compile command for all languages but I
didn't go that way.

On the UNIX side I used Makefiles to drive the whole process and I had
the Perl stuff create .o type files and the like for dependency checking.
Uploading and pre-processing a header would create a .hdro file for the .h.
I would have the Perl adjust the timestamp in the .o if the compile
had errors.

The makefiles led all the way through running tests and in some cases
checking results.  So, work away in the source tree changing headers,
macros, subroutines, mains, PSB source, and then just type make.
Everything gets compiled and tested in one shot.

I set up the perfect development environent which was shared by my group
but I never could motivate myself to fight the battles to switch over
the whole company.

I did preliminary work to move this stuff to Cygwin on Windows but
I still had easy access to Linux/Unix so I never finished that.

If you don't already have a submit command for your PC
I think that's a good way to start.

This is helpful--thank you.
