At the moment, I'm trying to learn it.  The SAS administrator left for
greener pastures, and we'll be under a hiring freeze for the next two
years.  So, I just inherited SAS and MVS as things that I'm responsible
for knowing well enough to keep things running smoothly.

So far, I'm impressed with what it can do.  I still can't seem to wrap
my brain around the programming language syntax.  One of the SAS guys
says it's a lot like FORTRAN.  I don't really see it, though.

Anyway, after I learn it, I'll be responsible for moving data between
the mainframes and the Sun boxes.  I might write an Apache log analyzer
in it, just to be perverse. :)
