    my first day at my new job; my manager shoved this book in front of me and told me to read up on the database they used - something called ... IDMS. it was not my first database, not even my first CA database (i had worked with a ill-fated product CA-UNIVERSE which featured an SQL[-alternative QUEL) - anyhow - i was hooked. at the time this company had just migrated form 5.7 to 10.0 ... the rest, as they say, is history

     

    i don't know if i have another 30 years in me; i am certain IDMS has another 30 years left in it; we will see in 30 years .....

    a mere youngster. It will be 40 years in January since I started working with IDMS as a freelance developer and I was handed the Assembler DML reference manual and a program spec. Happy days.

    I, as well, started with IDMS 40+ years ago.

     

    Central Access Monitor Program, journal to a single tape drive (it was **** when the tape had to rewind!).

    Eventually we could journal to multiple tapes and switch back and forth.
