This was called NALC (New Application License Charge) which was meant to ease the pain of adding a lot of MIPS for a specific application (generally a hog) like SAP, PeopleSoft, and the like. Only certain applications/work was acceptable and you were not allowed to run a 'classic' workload (e.g. CICS/VSAM/Batch). Kind of like what they were doing with z/OS.e before it was phased out.
-----Original Message----- Eric Bielefeld When I was at P&H Mining, they actually had the chance to go to all new work pricing. I can't remember the exact term, but I think if you only ran the new work stuff, you paid about 10% of the cost for z/OS and some of the other products.
