Rob, >> Anyone seen what the zEC-12 brought us as new instructions?
Nothing mentioned- but JAVA adjustment in realtime would need new counters (HIS in z/OS). Haven' check the shelf for a new version for the EC12. 2GB buffers for DB2 would need other (now valid) length codes for a few priv-ops that handle the page-tables (i.e. RRBM). Nothing us mere carbon-based units need. -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
