I spent 10 years in the z/OS ISV space negotiating with IBM Partnerworld etc.
Difficult to see financial value in the experience and more difficult to
describe the experience in positive terms.
IBM chooses to be tough to deal with particularly compared to Redwood shores
and Redmund.

z/OS assembler code will have to be rewritten.
Linux/z is usually ASCII, not EBCDIC. Think about all those CLC's.
If you start by rewriting the assembler code in C and go through the SQL to
find all the cases where LUW and DB2/Z disagree, your only remaining problem is
whither the JCL.

Consider how much easier it is to create Linux VM's under XEN or VMWARE.

Partner World is the answer.Depending upon the amount of IBM hardware - or to
some degree software - the ISV can move, the more help IBM can be at various
costs including free.The Z solutions in Partnerworld are somewhat more
complicated to navigate than the other platforms. Get to the right

Hi everyone.
We think we saw a difference in behaviour between these two versions.
It appeared to us that we had to specify both CPU values on one card to get the
desired effect.
If pressed however I will deny it.
