Lets call it an IFA. Would not AIX running on a zSeriers special purpose
engines generate benefits similar to Linux on IFL's.

Hi,

Your advice is worth what he paid for it. Perhaps your post would be more
helpful if you told us what reasons you considered to draw your conclusion.
My objection, and reason for using an EDIT macro, is the integrity of the ISPF

There already is hardware that will run AIX, it's called System p. I
doubt that there would be much traction to get AIX back on System z.
The focus is Linux.

PAUSE, there is no reason CICS will cease, as in ABEND. In fact, CICS REXX

Amaln,
VSAM imlicitly does a VERIFY as part of OPEN. Is the program with the ABEND
actually abending, or are you just getting the messages saying the file was
left opened (the messages are from verify).
Perhaps you should post the messages or the abend info.

That really depends on the abilities of the creator.

Feel guilty if the admonisher has never posted anything with less than 100%
accuracy and so completely simple to understand that the thread required no
further discussion.
The rest of us are human. Sounds like you realize the point and learned from
his suggestion so move on as the better
I have seen programs get a non-zero return in the filestatus from open
(maybe 4 indicating prior access abended) and choose to abend themselves
even though the implicit VERIFY was done. In that case, the external pre-
verify is the shortcut to not changing the source to allow a 4 on open. I
If there are no openings then there is nothing to handle. When there are
things to handle then there are openings. It does not compute that there are
no openings and you handle it locally. ;-

Ah,
The HSA on our 9672 running OS/390 V2R10 is a whopping 64M, compared to
1344M on the z9 at z/OS V1R8. We eliminated the DYNAMIC attribute on 1024
