I am more than a bit confused. I know I saw an announcement that XLC 2.4.1 was available for download, but exactly which version is supplied in the z/OS PDSE's in an existing z/OS 2.4 environment? Is this new XLC version available in Unix services shell environments only, or is a JCL/PDSE version also automatically available?
At what RSU level is XLC 2.4.1 already included for z/OS 2.4? For z/OS 2.5? If JCL/PDSE copies are not provided, what are C language developers in a JCL-only (no Unix) SDLC environment supposed to do to use the new version for their work?

The compiler seems to have two versions, traditional (pre-2.4.1) and "Open" (2.4.1 and presumably later). The changes are significant, including defaults, which is.odd and painful and quite possibly dangerous. Surprising. We're using 2.4 as well, and keep tripping over stuff because we search and find the wrong page (the fact that IBM does zero SEO for this stuff doesn't help, either: even with "z/OS" in the search, results are often for AIX). ...phsiii (grumpy on a Monday morning) -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
