Jacky, If you're trying to cut costs I hope you've gone to sub-capacity pricing. That will definitely help in the cost area. I just checked our invoice for operating system software and RMF is less than 4% of the total cost. I absolutely agree with other responses here. A shop runnning z/OS definitely needs RMF or CMF.
