I should have also added that if you upload your inventory first, ShopZ will show you upgrades, and it will show you non-orderable products you currently have, but no suggested upgrade. I think COBOL fell into that bucket. You just have to go back and manually resolve these types of issues.

IBM has just withdrawn Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V3R4 (5655-G53) from marketing. What was not expected is when we ordered a ServerPac which should include COBOL, it is not included. What could be included is Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V4R1 (5655-S71); SURPRISE. After much discussion with our SE and ServerPac team, they offered a "fee service" to put together a COBOL distribution of 5655-G53 to ship to us. After much more discussion and exchanging tears of injustice IBM agreed to send a CBPDO as a final gesture for N/C. OK, first for the observation. The SE's back in the 20th Century looked out for us as far as keeping tabs on software upgrades, etc, advising and reminding us to order, etc. Seems in this new 21st Century I get to monitor all the Announcement letters on my own and look out for Ole #1 (the new way). Question: are others finding this to be true and if so, what tools or things do you use to keep pace with withdrawls, etc, for what you own?
