... where I read:
If you are using z/OS V1.6 or z/OS V1.7 (SMP/E V3.3 or SMP/E V3.4),
you will need to install the following SMP/E coexistence PTFs to
continue to RECEIVE HOLDDATA, ...
And publibz tells me that SMP/E v3r5 is associated with z/OS 1.10.
So, I wonder:
o Will SMP/E v3r5 be available at no additional charge to
customers of supported releases of z/OS, as was the case
with a few earlier releases of SMP/E?
o Or, are there upward compatibility issues for earlier z/OS
releases?
o Would instructing customers requiring coexistence to upgrade
rather than providing coexistence PTFs relieve IBM of the
burden of triply parallel support and allow IBM to provide
better customer support by concentrating on a single release?
