My customer is currently on Z/OS 1.4 and is planning to migrate to Z/OS 1.7 by March 2007
Following are my observations on Z/OS 1.7 migration (Application program Specific). Batch OS/VS COBOL : Existing load modules will run under Z/OZ 1.7 with out any change. Online OS/VS COBOL with CICS TS 3.1 : Will ABEND under Z/OS 1.7 VS COBOL II : Existing load modules will run under Z/OZ 1.7 with out any change. JCL : All support for JOBCAT/STEPCAT is removed : ISAM : Support for ISAM files are removed. All ISAM files must be converted to VSAM prior to Z/OZ 1.7 migration VSAM : Support for VSAM keywords IMBED, REPLICATE and KEYRANGE is removed. Can anyone confirm that VS COBOL II load modules will continue to run under Z/OS 1.7. Do I need to consider anything other than the above mentioned for the migration? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
