So long as they conform to the restrictions, they should. Now, if they use priviliged instructions, they may not because of changes in the hardware and z/OS. But if they are normal programs, then yes. Oh, if written in an HLL, you might need an appropriate run-time. E.g. if the code was written in ANSI COBOL, I doubt the executable will still run as there is no ANSI COBOL compatable run-time anymore. The same with any system type assembler macros. So, I'd go with some to most, depending. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
