Tommy, It always helps if you provide the full question rather than a partial one. That way we can help better answer your question. So, is this a SYSTEM REXX that you are using to route a command with and retrieve the information? If so, when you say you get nothing back - what does that mean?

You are correct that you do not have LPAR Group Capacity limits with z/OS 1.7. You can cap those small LPARs but you must use a soft cap on the 'most loved LPAR' also. Otherwise that will drive the box to 100% (if there is workload that wants that capacity). The max 4HRA for invoicing is

I believe that I have seen an 'under load' effect when trying to manage low use LPARs. Consider an LPAR that loafs along slurping a mere 3 MUS's and that is quite enough for its mission. But if I soft cap that LPAR at, say, 4, and it spikes to, say 10, then the cap is hit within an interval or
