Ted, It was several years ago, and even though CICS was starting to move processing to other TCBs, the vast majority of the work was run under the main TCB. In our case, we were running several other applications on the box so we made good use of the multiple CPUs. The main point I was trying to make was that if this is the only application running on the box, the application vendor may have (or have had) a legitimate desire to have a single larger CPU rather than 2 smaller ones.

Was that before CICS started using more TCB's? Also, could you have run other work on the system in question? - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
