Fro our perspective, we do not like being charged more for any software,
including SAS when we have to add a processor for workload that is
increasing. One of the reasons that SAS is eventually going to have to go
away from our shop is that if we get a more powerful box, cost of SAS goes
up. We no longer have CA/Mics so there is no compelling reason for us to
continue to pay SAS price increases.  If SAS on z/Linux  was cheaper to
run, or priced like the PC version we would go that and access the data via
NFS.

Thanks!
Talking to our SAS rep, I get the impression SAS doesn't think there's much
of a market for it.

By 'they' do you mean SAS or just your company decided not to do it?

We had it - beta.  Worked great.  Then they decided not to do it.

Our company is looking at obtaining servers for a new central SAS
environment (replacing aging and scattered older servers).
Can SAS run under linux on the mainframe and if so does it perform well?
Our local SAS rep says there is no SAS product for linux/390 but I had
thought some people are in fact running SAS under linux on the
mainframe.
