Picky, picky, picky. <GRIN> Thanks for the information. Perhaps I should have said something more along the lines of "If I want to exploit a zAAP processor with my own code, that code must be written in Java." Perhaps also with a note that my code might run IBM (or other vendor?) supplied code which might run on a zAAP (like XML is going to). But there is no way for be to LEGALLY get my COBOL code to run on a zAAP. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
