Just to clarify any confusion that might result here, Oracle will be
supporting
the current 10.2 release of its z/OS product (including Access Managers for
CICS and IMS) _indefinitely_, including testing with new releases of z/OS,
CICS, IMS, and of the Oracle database (running on other platforms, such
as z/Linux). Customers with questions about this should contact Barry
Perkins,
VP Oracle Modernization & Oracle Integrated Solutions, at 650 506 2747
or email barry.perk...@oracle.com. Barry has been involved in Oracle's
MVS products for many years and understands the issues involved.
