Gee, how about 360 assembler and JCL? I guess I am finished.

Job Control Language is a little before my day but I never heard anything good about it from those who had to use it.

Ah, takes me back to the good old days, when we were real programmers. I challenge anyone today to work on one of those. God, I don't miss the keypunch.

Nope. As I tell my friends, never trust a computer that you can lift. :-)

I was still working with assembler until about 95 and there were still a lot of high volume processors still using it at least 6-8 years ago. And JCL, still going on the mainframes and mainframes have made something of a comeback for volume processing.
