Hi
Thank you for all the answers.
Why delete a product ?
We are business partner , and we got till now all for free, from the
IBM, but every year got
a list about how much we shouldn't have to pay. This list has contained
the BDT and some other
components (Book Manager Read and Book Manager Build etc. etc) . So till
now we paid a symbolic price, but seems
IBM would like to turn this symbolic money to real one. If I understand
correctly BDT has a symbolic price about 2000 $.
I will try to SMP/E DELETE , but before, I will remove all the proper
libraries from LNKLST , ISPF etc. etc.

Why would you want to delete a product that comes as part of the
base; for
example, BDT and is either ENABLE or DISABLED via IFAPRDxx?
Good point. There is working and IBM-blessed method for z/OS
*FEATURES*, like RACF, dss, rmm, C/C++ or BDT.
Such (paid) features always come (as a code) with z/OS, but some of
them are disabled in IFAPRD, while others are enabled.
And this is OK for IBM. Of course everyone is aware that customer may
enable the feature without paying for that, but that's another story.
However separate *PRODUCTS* (like DB2, CICS, MQ, COBOL, OMEGAMONs,
TWS, etc. etc.) are different issue:
- you get it only when you explicitely ordered it. Product can be
delivered in separate package (CBPDO) or bundled with system in ServerPac
- you shouldn'tt have the code whan you didn't ordered it. The
unanswered problem arises when you want to stop using given product.
- IFAPRD member is not relevant here.
- IBM does not use product keys, so lack of key is not a a prove you
don't use the product.
BTW: Who's using BDT? And what is it for? I understand it (never paid
attention, so I can be totally wrong here) as very old
replacement/alternative to FTP.
