All that said, it's way easier to migrate from OS/390 V2R10 to z/OS 1.8
than it is to migrate to another operating system. Way, way, way easier.
And, once you do get current, please don't let this happen again. Stick
to
the N-minus migration steps. You'll be way, way, way happier. So will
your wallet.
Tim,
IBM would help tremendously if it did not obsolete its mainframes every 5
years. In my client's case, they bought their 9672 in 1997, and it was
effectively dead-ended in 2001 when they installed OS/390 V2R10. IBM just
withdrew the z890, and we're due for the next levelset to take out the z800
and z900 series. Companies who used to get 10 years out of a mainframe can
do so no longer because IBM won't permit it.
Regards,
Tom Conley
