CVTPCCAT points to the IHAPCCAT, which is an array of 64 addresses. Each address point to a PCCA (IHAPCCA in SYS1.MODGEN). PCCAATTR contains the attributes of the CP. x'04' indicates a zIIP. x'01' indicates a zAAP. However, this only works for engines defined to the LPAR in which the software is running. Which means it will never detect an IFL or a ICF type processor because z/OS cannot use them. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
