Suggest that you contact your IBM Representative on this subject...
The following provides insight to the ISV Program and the zPDT Hardware / Software.
Program Development Tool for Independent Software Vendors (zPDT)
https://dtsc.dfw.ibm.com/MVSDS/'HTTPD1.DSN01.PUBLIC.ADCD.SHTML(A00AWELC)'
Since the environment is an emulator when new hardware models are created it takes a little while for the zPDT emulator and the ADCD to catch up.
There are other IBM programs that offer access to real IBM z Hardware which may be of interest as well.
BTW - The zPDT platform is for Development Only - No Production work. The environment is great for most general development work.
The approval process was part of the IBM Developer Assistance Program now the program looks to be under the IBM z and LinuxOne (ZOPD):
https://zlpn.ibm.com/zopd-application-form/
But as mentioned before - best to work directly with IBM to gain access to one of their programs for the zPDT.
