Hi, From experience with both the DS8xxx boxes and with z/OS at various release levels, your best bet is to put on ALL maintenance that will APPLY. If you pick and choose, you can wind up with spotty levels of code and can leave you with a DS8xxx that doesn't perform as it should or, worse,

Just a suggestion, but why compile your Java programs on z/OS? Much better, IMO, to use a IDE like Eclipse on your desktop and then just publish the class files or jars to z/OS for execution. Also, JZOS actually refers to the batch launcher and toolkit for the IBM Java SDK, and not Java on z/OS
