I am looking for low hanging fruit to move workload to z/Linux ifl. We have an ifl but we run windoze here. I was going to automate the running of these macros between our z/VSE job scheduler using a product that comes with z/VSE called vsescript. This way ops would not have to baby sit these jobs.

I'm not sure one way or the other. Could the cost of running office applications on System z be cheaper than running them on a PC? When more types of applications run on System z, IBM could sell to more customers. IBM would need to make more z Systems. Higher manufacturing volumes could reduce cost per system.
