Hi everyone. We think we saw a difference in behaviour between these two versions. It appeared to us that we had to specify both CPU values on one card to get the desired effect. If pressed however I will deny it.

Go look at the table on the DEFINE CPU command. The problem, as Mark Pace pointed out, pops up when you're in a z/VM mode LPAR. The first one shown above will work in all cases, even though it isn't always necessary. And I agree with Mark Post that the above should be changed to be CPU 00 and 01 for simplicity and clarity.
