Hal,
The best place to check this is the IOCP manual for the specific
processor type, one of the appendixes has a list of machine Limits.
These manuals are available on Resourcelink. Also check the zSeries
Connectivity Redbook..
Your right that 16k is the maximum device limit on a Ficon chpid on all
z boxes... Well sort of.. until you try to SPAN the chpid across
multiple CSS. And then you find out that each device you define is
multiplied by the number of CSS you have. Effectivly the 16k limit gets
divided by the number of CSSs.. Not the sort of thing you need to find
out part way thru a migration!. Its not documented anywhere but we did
finally get a response from IBM that this is the way if works.
Regards
Roy

I am doing planning for my new FICON connected 8100. Where do I look to
see what the current device maximums might be.
In the beginning, the limit was 4096. Later, it was 16K. I heard it
increased again. How can I find out which maximum applies to *me*.
I am z/os.e 1.4 on a z890 and a z/800.
Are the maximums the same for both machines? At what point did the
maximums change?
