I'm curious. How much more does z/OS cost than z/VSE? An approximate percentage is good enough.
What are your reasons for converting? It sounds like from the way you worded your comment below that z/VSE doesn't have some restrictions that z/OS does, although I may have misread your comments. I did a conversion back in 1985 from DOS to MVS 1.3.6. I think it took alomost as long to convert from DOS to MVS as it did to get off of the mainframe 4 years ago. In 1985, we ran 5 DOS guests under VM.
