onto CICS and doing production work which "runs the business". I guess
they could do QA testing.
zPDT is for software developers only. RD&T (based on exactly the same
technology) is for customers.

From the RD&T reference cited:
'The Program may not be used to run production workloads of any kind,
nor more robust development workloads including without limitation
production module builds, pre-production testing, stress testing, or
performance testing."
So neither zPDT nor RD&T may be used for any production workload, or
even a workload that attempts to emulate a production workload. Sounds
too restrictive to me - how could you legally debug and fix application
problems that only show up under stress if you are a developer and this
is your only z/OS machine?
