"2. EOM and EOS are important, but IMHO prices are more important. In many cases it is cheaper to replace machine than to buy service contract for existing (old) one. And it is rather cheaper to buy newer model even if new and new-1 are available." The purchase of hardware is CAPEX. The purchase

"CAPEX can be converted to OPEX i.e. by using leasing services." The lease must be a fair market value lease, so that title does not pass. Only then is it considered OPEX. If it's a dollar buyout lease, then its a CAPEX lease and must be accounted for as CAPEX. Joe On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 6:4

Well said. However I have different observations of real world. It can be computer, dasd array, car, truck, airplane, etc. I even know cases when a leasing company is owned by leasing client. Sometimes bank lend money to (its own) leasing company just to lease something from that company. Of c

MVS RESMGR exit

Excuse me for asking this question here, but I can't find an IMS DC list. We rely on getting control at task termination to clean up resources used by our software.  We create a PC to add an MVS RESMGR exit when our software is first accessed in an IMS MPR.  If there is a pseudo-abend, which we u

Perhaps some pseudo-abends in IMS do not result in TCB termination and re-attach. The IMS dependent region has a multi-level TCB structure (originally to handle application programs issuing the EXIT SVC, such as Cobol STOP RUN, as well as abnormal conditions). The primary purpose of a pseudo-aben

First, this is definitely a legitimate list for IMS questions: you'll get more eyeballs but less concentrated in depth knowledge here. My advice is to post on both lists and to note the cross posting. Second, unless an IMS pseudo-ABEND causes a real ABEND, only IMS rcovery code will run. Third
