I've always thought that the restrictions IBM puts on sites and the
hoops you have to go through to save money really suck. I've never had
to do any of that, as our last 2 machines were an MP2003 and our current
MP3000, and the pricing IBM gives you is pretty good without going

I worked at an IBM development lab for seven years, and we never had
anything like JCLCHECK/JCLPREP. Before then, I think I came across
JCLCHECK once, when I worked in Germany.
Most of the JCL I write is pretty generic anyway, and relies mostly on
the usual IBM utilities being present. That way, I
Bruno,
I heard about this from a colleague. Question is how will IBM regard this
in terms of licensing charges?
Another thing is im not totally convinced that this will not hurt
performance. Not sure PR/SM was designed to handle such a workload --

Exactly what "conversion" are you doing? (LE? COBOL? z/OS? hardware?
other?)
If the "conversion" is for COBOL, then there really is almost NO conversion
necessary (depending on your exact environment). See:

Depends on what was signed I guess - I don't get involved at that level.
One would have to think it outside the spirit of the license - especially if
