Bob,
Thanks for "jumping in" on this topic.
Al Sherkow certainly has a wonderful attitude about sharing his extensive
knowledge. However, as you pointed out, he makes his living by consulting
(and also by marketing his excellent software product).
It is very nice to see someone "stand up" for Al and give him a plug.
Kind regards,
Don

Errol,
The best source for "detailed,specific information" about GCL is IBM, not
IBM-Main nor LPAR-Pricing. If you've noticed, not one person replying to
this thread was an IBMer. Your local IBM software pricer should be able to
get you all the answers you need that aren't covered in the SCRT manual,
SHARE presentations, etc. Optionally, I suggested contracting Al.
Yes, this forum is about asking questions and sharing information. But it
is not generally the place to explore every nuance of a particular topic
in exhaustive detail. We have day jobs and aren't being paid to do yours
for you. I'm sorry if this seems a bit harsh, when when you started
debating the answers that were "freely" given, I started to suggest you
"pay" for the rest.

Fine Bob,
GCL is a feature provided by IBM. I am trying to found out what its
implications are, as the detail available out there is a bit sketchy. I would
have loved some feedback from the IBMers as to all the potential benefits.
Is this not what this group is about?
Errol,
Pardon me for jumping in here, but I suggest you engage Al in a
consulting gig. He was kind enough to answer your original question, but
the information you are requesting here he makes his living providing.
Just my $.02. I'm sure Al will correct me if I am wrong.
Bob
