Are you absolutely sure that z/OS.e will run on an IFL??? I was
definately under the impression that it required a general CP, not an
IFL.

In addition, I am not a DB2 person, but I think that there are
differences between z/OS DB2 and UDB (UNIX) DB2. Not really large ones,
but some toe stubbing might occur when migrating.
