If you run on Linux under VM I can not see it need to be any different than running it on a PC.
It is more or less straight Suse or Red Hat Linux so I gather it should be just the same as on a PC. Last I heard you could get a free practice account from IBM to test. Have not tried it myself but I just assumed it to be the same as the other Suse and Red Hat Linuxes I am using. 2010/3/7 Don Guinn <[email protected]>: > Well --- > > The instruction set is quite different on the 360/370 series from that of > Intel although the C compiler should take care of most of that; however, > testing to verify it is OK would probably be pretty extensive since it is > such a different platform. > > I imagine that memory management on LINUX would be pretty much the same, but > under native VM or MVS the memory management is quite different. > > Not sure where mapped files would go as on MVS mapped files reside in a > different address space from the application and there is no limit to the > size of the mapped file in MVS.
