I doubt it. The project has been going on for some time and the z10 is quite recent. In any case, many shops which decide to get rid of the mainframe never reconsider that decision based on new facts and cost analyses. It is too likely to make management "look bad" to those above them. One ex-manager around here was always trying to get things done solely so that "I will look good". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
