We are running z/OS 1.2 and DB2 V7 and are looking at implementing unicode. Looking in the POO, there are 3 levels of hardware instructions associated with unicode called z/Architecture Extended Translation Facility, z/Architecture Extended Translation Facility 2 and z/Architecture Extended Translation Facility 3.
The POO says that if neither of the first 2 levels are implemented in the hardware, then z/OS will simulate those instructions. However it doesn't say what happens if the first 2 levels are implemented in your hardware but the 3 level isn't. Can someone confirm that those instructions associated with the 3rd level will be simulated by z/OS if they are not there. The reason for asking is that we have a Flex-ES machine and it apparently implements the first 2 levels, but not the 3rd.
