Of course. But I don't need to compile the code which uses them on z/OS, if I am allowed to download the jar files to my compiler platform. <snip> > > I'm puzzled by the CPU comment, John.

No, of course it doesn't run 100% all the time. But management here will "go after" anything which they __feel__ is "wasting" CPU. Even if nobody else is using it. Weird, but true. So I avoid confrontation with them simply by offloading what I can to my PC. My manager has talked himself blue about this to them and they simply disregard him. "No unnecessary processing! Period! END OF DISCUSSION!!!" Even if it makes no difference to our billing. I think this is to prove that our CPU is overpowered and can be downgraded even more, which will reduce our billing as discussed also recently. No, proving that moving to a z10 would reduce our billing is not acceptable. I don't know why. It just is. > > - - - - - > Timothy Sipples -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
