That's all that I did. We were running z/OS 1.6 on a z890. We upgrade the z890 to a z9BC (T02 capacity). All that I did was put on the PTFs (and PREREQs and COREQs) mentioned in the PSP for the z9BC. We are still running z/OS 1.6 on the z9BC. We are planning to upgrade to z/OS 1.8 later this year. But I'm still not comfortable with it due to the number of issues with 1.8 that I've read about here. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
