Abstract
VM/ESA Version 2 and OS/390 deliver Open Systems facilities to programmers in the VM and OS/390 environments. In this IBM Redbooks publication we discuss the reasons for porting applications. Following this we take a detailed look at a few applications we have ported and describe the facilities and techniques utilized to make them work. Special focus is placed on the business value of these applications, and how to use them in a typical VM environment. We provide significant detail on how to navigate the technical challenges and give many examples and sample code.
