Jim -
I'm running TXT2PDF 04.147 in an 8MB machine as a PIPE stage.
My PIPE reads NETDATA files directly from the RDR, calls the TXT2PDF
stage and then sends the output directly to an RSCS printer. So
there are no intermediate files involved. The largest report I ever
processed was about 500
Are you compressing your output file?

Will Linux run in an LPAR with only a CP and NO IFL ?
I know that one most likely would not run a like this for long,
but being ask to install Linux PDQ in an LPAR that does NOT have a IFL assigned.
Thanks for the reply.

it's not cost effective. For example, if we already have z/VM running,
there is no additional cost involved.

It will very likely push up your software costs for all the other LPARs on
the same machine if you need to upgrade your standard CPs.
In general, IFLs do not count towards z/OS or z/VM software charging by IBM
or ISVs. If you run z/VM and z/Linux in IFLs it is 'a good thing'.

Mike
Hi, David.
I believe what Adam is referring to is the fact that other software
license charges can go up as you add general purpose engines to your
system. This only matters if you're running other systems, like z/OS, in
addition to z/VM and Linux guestsif you're not, then no worries.

I have only one production z/LINUX and a test z/LINUX that runs just fine with
no IFL. Most of my production is on several z/VSE guests, but I needed a LINUX

had a plan to add dozens of z/LINUX an IFL might look

If you already pay for VM on your standard engines, the issue is less serious.
But:
1) Standard engines are 4x
Thanks to all that replied. I appreciate you confirming that Linux will run on
a CP without an IFL in the LPAR. That's all I needed.

Thanks, all for the answers - that is what I suspected. We have z/VM and
z/VSE guests running in the only LPAR; if there was a move to initiate
running LINUX in the same z/VM, perhaps as a proof of concept, I
wouldn't think the costs would increase.

When we first looked at this, one thing that wasn't recommended when using a CP
versus an IFL was using CP Linux to run a DBMS. David, you helped us with the
analysis at the time.
The I/O intensive nature of the DBMS was a drawback, as was the licensing (you
had to license at the full MIPS of

Correct.
We have an exec that retrieves responses from RSCS using the CRI. In the past,
it could issue JES commands (e.g. $DA or $DN,ALL) to an MVS system and return
the response from MVS to a stem. One of our users has run into a problem - it
gets an immediate End of command response message without

I'm needing to issue a vmlink command from within an assembler program.
What I would like returned in some parameter list or rc(return code) is
the file mode. If it's done with an rc , the rc could be 1 thru 26

Has anyone done anything like this and if so would you be
