Turns out this was wrong. According to the documentation, zPDT will only emulate the highest level of machine type for which it was enabled. According to the manual: "zPDT does not have a facility to emulate older System z architectures. For example, the current release (zPDT Version 1 Release 6) is at the System z13 level. It cannot be set to a System z 196 level or a z10 level. Providing a switchable architectural level facility would result in reduced performance and the product developers are unwilling to make this tradeoff. "If you need to test software under older System z architectures (and older z/OS releases) you must retain older versions of zPDT." > In the case of Ubuntu, > you're going to need a zEC12 or higher since that is the level at which they > compiled their code. That means a machine type of one of the following: So, that means your version of the zPDT software must be recent enough to be emulating a zEC12/zBC12 or z13.
