Wouldn't XML, Java, and "more other modern stuff" qualify as an "add-on" such as you mentioned in the

IT!" <big grin>
Apples and oranges. zIIP, zAAP, IFL are for "non-MVS" workloads. Yes, I
know, zAAP and zIIP are used under z/OS, but for "modern" workloads.
If your apllication does not use it (majority of traditional
applications don't) then you simply don't need it. When my application
started to use MQ, I installed it and learnt. When my application
started to use cryptography, I installed it and learnt. I also learnt
and tried many other things, like DF/SMB just for curiosity.
What can I do with XML in DB2 ? My application doesn't use it. I'm *not*
application programmer, so I won't change it.
I know what can I do i.e. with SMS, RMM, HSM, ICSF, HCD and many others
20 years old "new things". Some (I repeat: *some*) old farts don't know
- it's still to new for them.
BTW: I'm not so young... <vbg>
