That is only true if you are paying full cap. Enterprise COBOL is a Variable Workload License Charge (VWLC) product. You only pay for what you use if you are doing sub-capacity pricing. Plus, if you are careful to restrict the lpars that you allow compiler execution on, more money can be saved.

No, I don't remember how much. I tried to order it when I ordered z/OS 1.10. But my manager checked the cost and like to have had another heart attack. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
