WYLBUR, an editing and batch processing system on Titan, will be retiring. WhenDecember 31, 2009 WhyCIT is concerned that users are running WYLBUR command procedures that were designed by people who are no longer with their organizations, and are not available to fix problems. We are also finding it increasingly difficult to find IT specializes who can support WYLBUR. AlternativesMany of WYLBUR's text editing functions can now be performed with desktop text editing programs. FTP enables customers to transfer files between Titan and the desktop. We also have many off-the-shelf products on Titan that provide customers the same functionality as WYLBUR command procedures. To see the replacements for WYLBUR functions, open the replacements table. Help for the TransitionWe will do everything we can to help you with the transition, including working with you to convert your command procedures to REXX EXECs and helping you use FTP software.
