Hi,

Going through a z/OS presentation by John Ells which had pages after page of 
Requirements I was reminded about this noticed I don't think I ever posted the 
conclusion back to the list.

IBM satisfied the marketing requirement in z/OS 1.9 AND with APAR OA22059 
rolled this back to z/OS 1.8 where we tested an early APAR fixtest.  We ran 
with the APAR fixtest worked through some problems and then have had no further 
issues since applying the final cut.  The PTF for 1.9 was included in our 
ServerPac when we migrated.

Yow!  I think we are planning this migration soon and will definitely be
hit by this.  Thanks for the "heads up".
