I don't think that's correct. From the IBM documentation I see it seems that the Batch Runtime Environment is "a program designed to provide a managed environment that enables shared access to a DB2 connection by PL/I, COBOL, and Java programs. Updates to DB2 are committed in a single transaction." Or, as stated in Redbook SG24-8116: <quote>Batch Runtime environment, a new component that was introduced in z/OS V1R13. This component provides a new option for running batch work that is focused on Java. This new platform-neutral programming model, called the z/OS Batch Runtime is a managed environment for Java that allows interoperability with COBOL. Batch code written to this new standard runs natively on z/OS. Executing DB2 hybrid applications in z/OS Batch Runtime simplifies the code, helps ensure the integrity of your data, and overcomes some common batch pitfalls. </quote> If it was only introduced in z/OS 1.13, it seems unlikely that a statement of direction from 4 years ago would be referring to it. [Note: I know nothing about the ICN mentioned by the OP, and as I'm no longer an IBMer I have no information on what IBM is planning to do. I agree that, since it's an ICN, it is most likely confidential information only available under an NDA. At least, that's how they were handled when I was at IBM.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
