Considering the year differences I would stick with the new one.
One place I was at was using an old (we are talking 1990's) on that had a nasty bug. I had too much on my plate to go after the newer one (that fixed the bug). Since the problem only happened when the system was being z eod'd and either the operators were too slow to catch it or another slang term that I shouldn't use. If the date was say 2011 or there abouts I would probably use the one from 2006 unless the comments on what it fixed pertained to the latest release.

I was looking for the SMFDUMP program and thought I rememebered that it was on the CBT tape. And indeed it is.

In fact, I found two versions of the program, in files 684 and 686. They appear to have the same origins, but the two programs are a bit different.

The dates of last updates appear to be 2004 for 684 and 2006 for 686, should that make a difference to anyone.

I have seen a number of references in the archives to the version in file 686. Is this considered to be the superior version?

I'm not going to look, but make sure one or both has this required change
from OS/390 2.8 that I made to my version in 2000.

      WTO   TEXT=(MSG1,MSG2),MF=(E,MSG007)  ISSUE MSG

        WAS CHANGED TO:

      WTO   TEXT=((MSG1,),(MSG2,)),MF=(E,MSG007)
