British 'David' pokes US 'Goliath' in the eye
,----[ Quote ]
| World Programming's WPS software has been
| approved as ready for IBM's Linux on its system
| z mainframes.
|
| World Programming (WP) is being sued because its
| software supports the American software giant
| SAS Institute's Statistical Analysis System
| (SAS) programming language. The nod from IBM
| means that users' programs written using the SAS
| language can be run under Linux on IBM system z
| mainframes.

| Sources at IBM say that this is the first
| Unix-to-mainframe application migration in
| nearly a decade. That obviously does not
| count any workloads that were moved from Unix
| systems to Linux running natively on z/VM
| partitions on IBM's big iron. Neither IBM nor
| BC Card would provide details about the Unix
| systems being replaced or the capacity of the
| System z mainframes being dropped in to
| assume their role at BC Card.
