Please note that there is a period between these two sentences. :-) In other words, yes, it's true, zAAPs and zIIPs are not available on z800s.

Two separate thoughts there crammed into one paragraph. Sorry about that. - - - - - Timothy F. Sipples Consulting Enterprise Software Architect, z9/zSeries IBM Japan, Ltd.
