Hi Kurt. In answer to your question about my previous post:
We put the SMP/E target zone datasets on the target volume. The names in this

Brian,
Concerning small environments, does having z/OS (and z/OS V2.5) available to
all participating ISVs count as part of our early programs? Whereby they could
use z/OS V2.5 and z/OSMF in their own environment, or use it as a z/VM guest?
Does it count that these same ISVs, who can run in th

You can rent an account on a dallas (or other) center machine and run
real production.

However, that's one way for IBM to build a bridge.
zSMB or something.
Instead of leaving no option but to get out-of-support older machines (and h/w
support from other companies), or getting more MSUs and such...
IBM could instead sell software-only small machine.

Not really, the smaller the shop, the less programmers they have performing

something like COBOL-II, there are not enough of them to really matter. A
large shop wouldn't see that same problem, because while the comp

And therein begins a new line where some company offers services to move small

Did you think to have even ONE of those early sites be one with a small
processor (single CPU) like a low end single CPU z/13, z14 or z15? Most likely
you didn't and that's very sad. A good percentage of "new" clients that IBM
has added over the past 5 to 8 years are in that boat and IBM has d
