HCD or IOCP version for 2098?

2010-07-26 Thread Mike Myers
All: I am preparing to migrate to a z10 BC from an 890 and am trying to define an IODF and IOCDS that will work with the new CPC. I have not found an option for defining any 2098 processor model in the HCD on either z/OS 1.9 or 1.10. Both permit definition of a 2097, but no 2098 models.

So what's the advantage in having both Allen and Robertson screws? They seem to do the same thing. Allen keys are usually used at a 90 degree angle to the screw, which means they work more like a wrench than a screwdriver. Having said that, ratcheting screwdrivers can also be used in a wrench
