Yes, and no. Compared to a CP, an IFL has one "less" instruction. If you try to execute it though, you don't get a S0C1, you get a check stop. So, it isn't for technical reasons that IBM rejected the request for the quotes. Rather, it was for IBM business reasons. Some of which may no longer hold sway. I've been told of a number of people that have received special quotes for IBM products that aren't normally licensed on an IFL. Mark Post
