Might as well add z/OS 1.11 to you plan. z/OS 1.11 (or whatever marketing decides to call it by then) should be avail in September of this year. Stopping at 1.9 will put you behind the curve (again).
I didn't see anything that indicates support is being dropped. Check the LE books for information about changing the Millenium window. HTH, <snip> I'm currently running z/OS v1.4 and I've been asked if the MLE option will work beyond 2010. My plans are to first go to v1.7 then to 1.9. I will need to know if the MLE will work on those environments as well. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
