>From what I can tell, you may compile and run C/C++ programs on z/OS.e with no restrictions (assuming you have licensed it). I looked in the IFAPRD00 member that came with z/OS 1.6 (which has a z/OS.e section in it). There is an entry for the C/C++ compiler in that section. Therefore, I assume that it is possible to license the C/C++ compiler on z/OS.e This makes sense because z/OS.e is for "non traditional" workloads. The way that I read IBM's intent is that z/OS.e is mainly to support a Websphere / DB2 environment for "e-business". Websphere almost demands a C compiler for applications.
