Peter, As I said, I am bit rusty on the actual T&Cs (over the years there have been some changes). The 2 days 'grace' period might related to CBU (for DR) rather than CBU Test. In both cases a warning is issued that that 'CBU' duration is going to expire. I myself don't have access to IBM's Re

Multiple CBU records may be active at the same time. CBU resources can be activated, deactivated, or the activation level changed concurrently (from an LPAR perspective). I assume you're using shared processors only and z/OS. Usually, from z/OS you may need to configure additional logical proces

I haven’t researched SMPE on this question for a long time. VB REXX elements may be legal now. If you have any, that proves your case. OTOH it doesn't matter much because if there is even one each of FB and VB elements, you still have the same problem with concatenation.. This will not work:
