    Hi ! 
    I'd like to know if there is any place where It is possible to know which products (IBM and/or ISVs) are already available in PSWI format. 
    I've tried to find something related on Shopz for IBM products, however with no success.

    I cannot speak for other vendors, but ALL of IBM's z/OS platform software in Shopz is available in Portable Software Instance (PSWI) format.

    Hi Eli.

    Products which are delivered as part of a Servpac are in PSWI format. The only other way to order a z/OS product is as a CBPDO but as far as I known this is always in traditional format and requires SMP/e receIVE/APPLY/ACCEPT.
