OK all you folks on this here LIST.  Please put your thinkin' and rememberin'
hats on.  When did IBM first introduce SMP/E to replace SMP4?
SMP/E GA?  And when was SMP4 dropped completely (support wise, that is)?
Any other history on this topic would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'm in reminisce mode right now.  Sorry?!

SMP/E was introduced at the same time MVS/XA was available. To upgrade to MVS/XA from MVS/370 without a full sysgen required SMP/E for the CSECT delete function. SMP/4 didn't have that capability.

I don't remember when SMP/4 become unsupported however.
