Absolutely, and I think some of the responders covered that point. The restriction against SVCs is a killer all by itself.

How would COBOL code even be able to load and call the LE subroutines that are dynamically accessed? Enclave initialization alone would probably fail, never mind any actual COBOL code. Ditto for other HLL's of course, not unique to COBOL. I suspect only Assembler and MetalC are realistic languages for programming code that can run in an SRB of any kind, ZIIP-eligible or not. Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Gerry Anstey Sent: Friday, September 6, 2019 6:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Using COBOL on ZIIP via SRB etc Hi, has anyone had any success in setting up and SRB to run a COBOL program on ZIIP? I have been doing some research and I'm aware of the restrictions in running under SRB etc but for now I just want to establish if the concept is viable. Does anyone have some sample code to load a COBOL program and then invoking it under an SRB (via IEAMSCHED??). If an elligible SRB process is established will that automatically run on zIIP or do we have to do something else? I much appreciate any advice and information you can provide.
