I think that what he is saying is that it would be cheaper to use a zAAP for Java support on z/Linux and z/VM than to get another IFL and put it into the pool when all it is really needed for is Java programs. z/Linux and z/VM are licensed by number of CPs/IFLs and he is assuming that a zAAP under z/Linux would not increase his software cost. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
