Dear Lists: I thank all of you who have responded so far and so quickly. The consensus of opinion is that it may be doable.
I realize that there are differences in the I/O support afforded by both platforms. This may be a small amount of the conversion effort. Several responders mentioned that ISPF for z/VM has not been enhanced for several years (10 years was mentioned twice) where as the ISPF for z/OS has been upgraded and improved over the years. So, the time lag between the two products will contribute to the difficulty of the conversion effort. And for Alan's (Altmark) point of concern, this will not be a platform involving any IFL engine(s) so the licensing issue should be straight forward. All in all I am not too discouraged at this point in time and I hope to be able to move forward on this conversion project. The more difficult part will be to convince my management that this project is worth our time and effort, not to mention any additional costs. Please feel free to continue to respond to my initial request if you have any concerns/thoughts you would like to share. All ideas/concerns will be most welcomed. Thanks to all again, the members of these lists are great people to work with. HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.
