    The MSU tables on the DTSC have z15 as the latest MSU table.  When will the z16 MSU tables be available?

    For the 3931 the A01 is a model. Models don't have MSUs, capacity settings have MSUs (4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx).

    Roger:

    Use the STSIUSE program that comes with z/VM. It is on MAINT's 193 as STSIUSE SAMPEXEC (rename it to STSIUSE EXEC). The info you are looking for is under STSI 1.1.1 which gives you the capacity setting and the MSUs. On my machine (a z13s Z02) I get:

    Model-Capacity Identifier:   Z02
    Model-Capacity Rating        333

    Yup - that did it. I talked to Perry about 5 minutes ago, remembered STSIUSE, and ran it.... viola!
    Thanks for your help! (and Perry says hello!).....
