Note that they will have to change logmodes too -- DIALed terminals are non-SNA (the CPA tn3270 connection was presented as SNA LUs). It may take a little experimentation to get an equivalent one. This will impact file transfer if they are still using 3270 file transfer methods. > The customer is pure VM (z/VM 5.2 migrating from VM/ESA). > Therefore EE is not an option.

As long as we're swatting flies with nuclear weapons, you could always give them z/OS.e to run as a guest...8-) -- db
