Is the XML processing you're doing in your test program "trivial," thus z/OS correctly decided it wasn't worth even attempting a switch to dispatch the work to your zIIP engine? If my guess seems reasonable are you able to run the test with a bigger XML input file? — — — — — Timothy Sipples Se

+1 For FM's PDSE Workbench. Too bad FM in general has the horrible policy of not only using 47 different keylists, but insisting on [re-]activating them no matter how many times the user turns them off. That makes using FM very frustrating if you dare to want to control your own PF key settings.
