We have not actually switched, but one reason we are thinking about it is that USS uses EBCDIC (and the ASCII support doesn't work well enough). This is a problem for moving custom applications to USS. It has been a little bit of a pain with Java as well. We have one application that has to import ASCII files received from another system.
Note that we will not be doing an all or nothing switch. We will run z/OS Unix and Linux on different LPARs. Eventually we will probably run z/VM on one LPAR with multiple Linux under z/VM. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Levy, Alan Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 8:03 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Why Zseries I'm doing a presentation on the advantages of choosing Zseries over unix systems services.
