Walter, You are correct; you cannot perform a supported migration from 1.7 to 1.10. Several years ago, IBM changed over to having three supported releases at any given time and only supporting upgrades on supported releases. So, 1.7 goes out of support on September 20, 2008, when 1.10 becomes available and is not supported for direct migration to 1.10.
This has been discussed more than once on the list since IBM originally went to the current methodology so it should not have been a surprise. I hate for you that it apparently is but the last N+3 supported migration I am aware of was z/OS 1.4 to 1.7.

I *am* at z/OS 1.7 level and I thought I could migrate to z/OS 1.10 (+3 rule). According to the z/OS 1.10 migration books, it seems I can't.
