I didn't mean to imply that SAS intended to charge extra for a zAAP. Only that, as OEM vendors start using Java more on the mainframe, they may decide to charge for a zAAP just as they do for a general CP. After all, the reason to charge more for a larger machine is that "you are getting more done" (or some such BS). So, if I write a system which is 20% (to grab a number) written in Java and I change by CPU power, wouldn't it make sense to charge 20% more if you have a zAAP? -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
