"NOTE: On October 31, 1995, IBM announced Year 2000 Support which stated
that, for any S/390 platform running MVS or OS/390 to be considered as Year
2000 Ready, all data sets must use Integrated Catalog Facility (ICF). It
will not be possible to access data via a VSAM Catalog or CVOL when the
system date changes past December 31, 1999. This means that MVS customers
who still have data sets cataloged in OS/VS Control Volumes (CVOLs) or in the
old VSAM catalogs will need to migrate these to ICF catalogs before the end
of 1999. We look forward to all of our MVS customers taking advantage of the
better performance and integrity of ICF. Those VSE VSAM customers who
previously shared VSAM data sets between the MVS platform and VSE or VM
platforms will need to reevaluate methods for satisfying their data sharing
requirements. For further information, refer to Software Announcement
295-464."
