ChangeMan ZMF customers represent some of the largest, most diverse and forward thinking enterprise IT organizations on the z/OS platform. We have asked several of our current customer advisory board members, as well as other customers, to join Al Slovacek, VP of Mainframe Products, and other Serena product experts in a roundtable discussion about ChangeMan ZMF in the Enterprise. Discussion will range from managing current environments, developing and deploying composite apps, best practices, and insights into future releases.

But if used properly can deliver almost the same functions HLLX XML
services can be called Variables can be passed on to other HLLX
exits using the VPOOL feature At Euroclear REXX is the preferred
language to perform ISPF customization What you need to know An new
