I don't speak for IBM, but IBM is making it *very* easy to create Java to run on z/OS -- including Java which uses z/OS-only methods. The jar files are available, as Kirk noted, at no additional charge. You can compile on or off your mainframe -- and, at least on your mainframe, almost certainly at zero real cost.
If someone wants to pretend it's hard, I suppose that's their right. :-) Whether it's z/OS, or Microsoft Office, or Oracle Database, or Software AG's Adabas, or any other piece of licensed software, just follow the rules, that's all. If you don't know what the rules are, ask. Just don't assume. That is all. Simple. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
