Thanks to all who responded. I understand about the utilities which use 3270 data streams and/or require an interrupt from a real device, but I often find myself in situations at customer sites where I need to bring systems up to test something and cannot afford to wait until a gen takes place. I didn't realize the HMC was available under VM/ESA - I missed everything from VM/XA until z/VM doing other things.
