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? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
