Ted:
Thanks for the reply. On some IBM websites, when you investigate the
migration options, and you are looking at something outside the
supported V1R4 to V1R7 path, you get "contact your IBM representative".
Well, although I was a 20-year IBMer, I am inclined to ask the people
who support the systems in the real world if anyone has found a way
around the prescribed solution. While I may well have to follow the
prescribed solution, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Does anyone out there know of a reasonable way of successfully bypassing V1R7
and migrating to V1R8, when coming from V1R4?
There isn't one, unfortunately.
IBM only promises compatibility for N, N+1, N+2, N+3.
Where N is 1.4 and N+3 is 1.7.
There are control blocks, catalogues and other things that change too
drastically.
Plus, in this case, a lot of JES2 exits change in 1.7.
You could try it, but you would be on your own.
