I forgot who the original poster of this was, but when you said you had an
unused IFL engine, did you mean there was an IFL engine on your machine that
was just there, and if you used it you would then have to pay extra, or was
it an IFL that you actually paid for or IBM threw in the deal when you got
the machine? Just curious.

Re: the "unused" IFL, could I suggest a use for it? If you have DB2, and
you have ODBC or JDBC access to it, it's almost always a really, really
good idea to put DB2 Connect on mainframe Linux. Just makes so much sense
in nearly all such situations.
There are other possibilities, but that's as close to a no-brainer as it
gets.
Sorry for the digression.
