Re: the "unused" IFL, could I suggest a use for it? If you have DB2, and you have ODBC or JDBC access to it, it's almost always a really, really good idea to put DB2 Connect on mainframe Linux. Just makes so much sense in nearly all such situations.
There are other possibilities, but that's as close to a no-brainer as it gets. Sorry for the digression. - - - - - Timothy F.
