02 is Poughkeepsie. 51 was Montpellier. 83 was Dublin, 84 was Singapore. I just saw a 8562-T02 with 78 as plant number – which I’m guessing is Brasil. (The customer is near Europe / Asia border so that surprised me.)

It is used in FC/FICON and in Coupling Facility definition, and it is a part of machine serial displayed in HMC. Example: 000 02 00 12345 (spaces added for visibility) I noticed some z16 machine in Europe has plant 02. Previous generation had 84, which was Singapore, AFAIK. I was told the 01 is POK (Poughkeepsie). So, what is 02? -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless otherwise stated above: IBM United Kingdom Limited Registered in England and Wales with number 741598 Registered office: Building C, IBM Hursley Office, Hursley Park Road, Winchester, Hampshire SO21 2JN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
