Steve,

The answer to his question was no.  I expanded on some issues he could
expect to find - some sooner, some later.  He also ought to expect issues
with error recovery (although I'm on a system that IS currently supported
and we found a very new issue with error recovery just last week... but the
difference is that we CAN expect to see a fix sometime relatively soon).


Your post didn't enlighten the user's original request either, it merely
took my answers to task.  I didn't make assumptions on his Y2K concerns,
nor did I make the leap of faith that "he has the license".  If he is
running his "MVS/SP 3.2.2" system now (which I doubt) then he is trying to
mix old (presumably cheap) software with newer, less expensive hardware...
I would expect some fallout to come from that combination.


Maybe the O.P. will explain his "MVS/SP 3.2.2" designation better.  Is is
really MVS/ESA 3.1.3 + DFP 3.2, or is it something different?
