Regarding the z9, does anyone have a view on running subcapacity engines
vs. full capacity engines?
For example, considering the following:
z9-508 has 352 MSUs (2613 MIPs)
z9-705 has 363 MSUs (2633 MIPs)
The 705 is using 5 full capacity PUs and the 508 is using 8 subcap PUs.
Is there any notice

That pretty well sums it up. Yes, COBOL (but not SCOBOL, which is an
interpreted language) can be called from TAL. Tandem has Common Runtime
Environment (CRE, similar to CEE in principal) to enable mixed-language
