WYLBUR Will Be Retiring

WYLBUR, the Titan editing and batch processing system, will be retiring on December 31, 2009. Many of WYLBUR's text editing functions can now be performed with desktop computer tools. In addition, we have many off-the-shelf products on Titan that will provide customers with the same functionality as WYLBUR command procedures.

We will do everything we can to help you with the transition, including working with you to convert your command procedures to REXX EXECs (an interactive language for TSO). For customers who use WYLBUR interactively, we will be offering classes in ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility), a full-screen editor in TSO.

We want to hear from you and make sure we address your concerns. Please contact the NIH Help Desk at http://ithelpdesk.nih.gov/support or 301-496-4357, 301-496-8294 (TTY), or toll free at 866-319-4357 with your questions and requests for assistance.
