Right. Unless you are at z/OS 1.10, you can not use EAV. There is also a minimum z/OS level required to use a given model of DS8000. That may have been a bad example, but the fact remains that new hardware is not supported on old operating systems. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
