I still work for an ISV. I hadn't thought to ask whether we have 2.1. And if
I do find out, I won't be allowed to say so here, will I? Are the 2.1 manuals
available now to beta testers? Oops. No one who knows the answer is
allowed to tell me.
I assume you have access to a z/OS 2.1 system and documentation via the
ETP (Early Test Program) for ISVs--if not IPLed in-house, then remotely
via IBM's systems in Dallas. How else are ISV products supposed to be
ready with toleration (at the very least) or exploitation (best case) of
new z/OS 2.1 function by the time the customer ESP begins?
The existence of ISV Early Programs is no secret:

But, since you work for an ISV, you should know this already...
