Ed,   Have you checked the z/os 1.7 migration guides?   I believe that
it was IBM's intention to consolidate ALL the migration information into
a single document.

Subject: No More JES2/JES3 Migration Guides!!!

Please join with me in complaining to IBM that there are no more
migration guides for z/OS JES2 and JES3, beginning with z/OS 1.7. These
_extremely useful_ books were "scrapped" because some "genius" 
erroneously believed that the "z/OS 1.7 Introduction and Release Guide" 
would provide equivalent information. See for yourselves, it doesn't
even come close!

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/E0Z2A117/

AFAICT, all of that great JES2/JES3 migration information has been lost!

And, at the worst possible time too! (Look how much JES2 exit rewrite is
required due to the extensive JES2 infrastructure changes in z/OS 1.7
needed to support large data sets and TCP/IP over NJE! JES3
installations are lucky because no drastic JES3 rewrite was/is needed to
support these features. But there will almost certainly come a time for
them as well.)

The old migration books provided, not just a list of changes and new
features, but guidelines and specific details on tolerating/exploiting
them. They were an invaluable resource! We need them back!
