We wanted the full-featured RSCS 3.2 that we were (are) running to
communicate with z/OS, so that important data (erep, monitor,
accounting, backup jobs) could be transfered to z/OS via NJE for
processing. We have shrunk enough that VM data just isn't worth anything
anymore. None of the bosses has decided about paying for your
full-featured feature now, so you may be out of that money too. Data
just isn't supposed to go into or out of VM anyway.

We requested the 'special quote' when we first looked at purchasing a
z890. It took quite a while to get a simple 'no' as the answer. We also
requested RSCS, ISPF and Callup. All were rejected.
Well, RSCS is a feature of z/VM now so no need for special bid, but, yes,
RSCS was indeed special bid for IFLs previous to that.
A special bid is also available for ISPF on IFLs for use by Tivoli
zSecure, DFSMS, and RACF panels. No other use allowed, such as for your
own panels.
I don't have any information on VTAM.
