My guess, and why I would do it, is to offload processing from the "more expensize" z/OS system to a z/Linux system on an IFL. Let as much of the "heavy lifting" be done on z/Linux, then send the results to z/OS. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
