The vendor of ABO is in the business of selling new hardware.

And there are lots of sites with System z processors but not z12s. How about a version to where during the install you specify what is the lowest processor you might run on? And in case you try to run on a machine without that instruction, the invalid instruction abend is trapped and executed with a replacement instruction sequence? Slows you down but keeps you running. And since this is machine code, why would this be limited to Cobol? It should be able to handle any language as long as you can analyze the run time libraries too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
