# RADz for Mainframe a Development Tool (Part-1)

Mainframe is changing its face from Black screen to White screen. Rational application development for Z series is latest buzz. I attended a seminar recently. In future we all need to work on RADz. Earlier days through emulator, we interact with mainframe. Days are gone now.

RADz is IDE tool. We no need to use Chgman/Endevor/SCLM.

All functions like DB2/IMSDb/IMSdc/CICS it supports. Hello…mainframe guys gear up to learn RADz. If you know Eclipse. This is simple to learn.
