But what about "unrelated" products, such as IMS, CICS, DB2, and other products IBM produces? E.g., if I remember correctly the latestt DB2 release is officially named DB2 for z/OS V9. In that case, since we're still on V1 of z/OS the ambiguity is easily resolved, but it's still an incorrect way to name it, in my opinion, I'd have called it DB2 V9 for z/OS. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
