The more I read about z/VM 6.1 it seems that most of the enhancements are covered under z/VM 5.4 at the latest level. But I just wanted to make sure that there is nothing in 6.1 for z196 that is not in 5.4 at the latest level? Thanks for the help! Thank You, Terry Martin Lockheed Martin CMS - CITIC 3300 Lord Baltimore Drive, Suite 200, 21244 Engineering Computing Mainframe Support Cell - 443 632-4191 Terry, We went z196 at z/VM 5.4 with 2817 PSP and q cplevel = 1002, ( RSU 5407 if I recall correctly). If zBX is not a requirement, z/VM 5.4 with 2817 PSP will get'r done. If exploiting a zBX is in your very near future, z/VM 6.1 is a must do. Regards, Doug
