AI System Services on z/OS 3.1 - is a CF really mandatory?

Hi everyone, it seems from the manual linked to below that you must have a CF to run EzNoSQL in order to use the new AI Framework feature of z/OS 3.1, for example to have AI-powered WLM batch initiators which is the first use case given. Most of my customers would baulk at spending for ICFs,

Re: Concatenating lines

You can change the columns TF uses by using the Bounds line command.  In this case it might be interesting to set the bounds to columns 1-71 and then use TF. Unfortunately I can't test this now, but I recall it being handy for formatting code.  It may be preferable to have the left bound set

Re: Does adding real storage require an IPL?

Hi Charles, Changing the image profile requires a deactivation and reactivation of the LPAR, so if the LPAR isn't already defined to allow dynamic storage reconfiguration, you will need one IPL to get to the new state where it is.  The manual for this is the PR/SM Planning Guide, which has a
