Just curios--going to what -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of McCabe, Ron Sent: Friday, July 16, 2021 2:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: z/OS versions
** EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION ** Hello IBM List, Got a question about how you feel about running on an unsupported z/OS version. Just about like everyone else our company is moving off the mainframe ... after several failed attempts I do believe they have something that will work this time and I'm OK with it because if they reach their goal End of Life for the mainframe will be when I was planning on retiring. Some background - we are currently running z/OS 2.2, we started the process to upgrade to 2.3 about 6 months ago and we are close to implementing providing our DEV's and BA's can finish up the testing that we require which is not going very well. Since the EOL goal for the mainframe is 4th quarter 2022 we are now thinking of not implementing z/OS 2.3 since it could possibly cause more problems for us than just staying with z/OS 2.2. So my question - how does everyone feel about running on an unsupported z/OS system?
