We are running z/OS 1.4 on a z890 right now. We have OS/VS COBOL 2.4 programs (batch only), VS COBOL II programs (Batch & CICS), Enterprise COBOL programs (batch & CICS). We are running CICS/TS 1.3. No IMS. No DB2. Some assembler, no C. We had no problems upgrading from a z800 in 64 bit mode to the z890 in 64 bit mode. We did run into some problems going from 31 bit mode to 64 bit mode with OEM software (old and needed upgrading). We had ZERO problems with our in-house applications when going from 31 bit to 64 bit (ARCHLEVEL 2) on the z800. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
