I am a senior systems analyst for a large corporation. I have 14 years of experience with
mainframe software. Our company is currently implementing SAP. I am 36 and my concern is that
the mainframe skills I have will be obsolete in a few years. Do you think Cobol, IMS, IDMS, JCL,
VSAM, CICS and other IBM mainframe skills will disappear in the near future? If so, where
should I look?
In the near future, no! In the future, YES! You should do whatever you can to take an active role in
the SAP implementation. It may the additional experience you need to make you more marketable.
