However, by doing this, IBM has implicitly revealed that there cannot be much, if any, difference between an zAAP and a zIIP, hardware-wise. At least from an application viewpoint. I wish that I had one so that I could "fiddle around" to see what would fail. I am very confident that all "general purpose" (user mode) instructions are fully supported. But perhaps not all of the privileged instructions. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
