I'm been roped into a techical discussion next week as to whether our Java
application can run on a "mainframe." (I know not what kind of "mainframe"
or OS).

Is this kind of thing even in the realm of possibility? Or should i tell
them to rewrite the application in COBOL?

Thanks

Probably means an IBM machine...

IBM's implementation of Java is available in a variety of forms,
including for the Z-series.

Might be a good idea to find out what machine and OS you are expecting
it to run on before trying to discuss!
