One potential business justification for IBM would be "to sell the hardware that contains this spiffy feature."
Isn't that essentially the business justification for *all* new z/OS features?

I deal with similar issues all the time in my employer's business. I hate it, but it is real. IMHO the IBM z/OS development team should never have *needed* a "formal request/requirement" to implement OS support for an implemented architectural feature. There is a new hardware feature, our clients will no doubt wish to take advantage of its benefits, let's support that feature. Full stop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
