Crawley, UK, March 8, 2023 – Macro 4, a division of UNICOM Global, has released new versions of its VSE mainframe systems management solutions that support VSE V6.3, the latest VSE operating system available from 21st Century Software, and all associated middleware.

Macro 4 develops a range of productivity and modernization solutions for the VSE platform, including its Tubes session management software; VTAMPrint, for output management; VSAMTUNE, for VSAM disk and data management; VSAMLite, for automated VSAM data compression; Logout, for console management and DATABACK automated VSAM data backup.

The new software releases will enable Macro 4 customers to take full advantage of planned enhancements to the VSE operating system, as Michelle Harris, Head of Mainframe Research and Development at Macro 4, explained:

“We have a loyal VSE customer base who view the platform as a key part of their plans for digital transformation and hybrid cloud, so we’re delighted that 21st Century has announced big plans for VSE since licensing the software from IBM. 21st Century intends to enable VSE as a public cloud offering, and align with IBM’s strategy in this area.

“We look forward to new energy and investment coming into the VSE ecosystem, and more engagement with the VSE community as we continue to expand our own solutions on the platform.”

Macro 4’s new releases for VSE will maintain compatibility with previous versions of z/VSE and related middleware.
