I hope when you said scrapped you didn't throw it out. You can use the cobol you had with 1.6. I didn't think ISPF was optional.
It will at least give a 1.7 system to build your 1.9 system (if you have already received 1.9). If you get the 1.7 extended support you get some help and fixes.

For years we would order a new version of software I would lay it down,get an iplable test system and then get (hire) help to setup a production system and move catalogs,data and general upgrade things. Well I order z/OS1.7(we are a 1.6 shop) and there was a problem with the order. Management cut several things out like cobol, ispf and few minor players. So i scrapped the order and told management about the problem. By the time everything was solved they were at v1.9. Also I was told no help this time do it by myself(I am a 1 man shop z890/110) and according to IBM there is no upgrade path to 1.9 or 1.10 which is what I would go to. So I am wondering is there some kind of roadmap to get to were I need to be? I can hack my way through just about anything. thanks in advance Mace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
