Anyone who is running z/OS 1.8 in a mixed level environment and who also keep a close eye on PTFs that go PE and restore them, watch out for this one.
OA19950 describes a console issue and marks OA10632 PE. However, OA10632 is the coexistance PTF that lets 1.8 IPL into a sysplex with lower levels and visa versa. Bottom line... don't restore the PTFs for OA10632 or if you are planning on IPLing 1.8 for the first time into a mixed level plex, bypass the error hold for OA10632 and apply it anyway for now. Or just wait until OA19950 closes before trying to bring up 1.8.
