Nevermind, Sunday is supposed to be a day to rest, go to church and enjoy your few precious times with your family, but we z/Os support don't have that luxury, we must respond within 3.5 nanoseconds once a problem appears no matter the time/date/urgency/impact ... ;-) >My 'well seasoned' z/OS systems programmer was having a FIT because he thought >someone had sent the vendor the wrong CPU-ID for an expiring product >(VTAM-Switch) that was scheduled for a key installation this weekend.

It escalated before I had a chance to >even think about the LPAR id. Did I told you that he is insulting you in a royal way? In fact, always ensure what your vendor (and your 'seasoned' programmer) has, is EXACTLY the same what you read. But never mind, I totally ignored that part of VTAM-Print, because I am 101% unfamiliar with that thing. You said: "Additionally, VTAM-Print says: (GSMINITL) THIS CPU: 758C7" That number is not near that number you posted ... A58C7 From my Sub-Capacity Report, I always compare that these 2 lines Machine Serial Number 84-????? <5 numbers> Machine Type and Model ????-??? <4 numbers-3 numbers> ... match with this from D M=CPU, where I see this: CPC ND = 00????.???.IBM.84.0000000????? (That is where your A58C7 sit) and also the same with CPC SI. Please kick that 'well seasoned' z/OS systems programmer where the sun is not shining and show him the door. Thanks for your clarification anyways. ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
