The difficulty with the question is that there likely aren't a lot of large zSeries mainframe-only shops in existence. There are large shops that run large mainframes, but they likely run other platforms as well and a large part of the manpower will be shared across platforms. We have a z/OS sysprog team of 5-8 and a DB2 team of 6-9 (where the 3 are shared z/OS and DB2). All other teams are not dedicated to Mainframe: Change Integration, Operations, Security, network, Scheduling, Facilities, DR, help desk, project management, auditing, etc. Depending on what you want to include, you end up with anything between 2 and 200 people per CEC.

Would some of you be so kind as to share that information with me. -- George Henke (C) 845 401 5614 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
