This is old news and has been a statement of direction for about 4 years.
Statement of direction IBM 31-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition V7.0 and IBM 64-bit SDK for z/ OS, Java Technology Edition V7.0 are planned to be the last releases to support the JRIO component. JRIO was deprecated in the IBM SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, V6.0.1 products. Customers and ISVs are encouraged to use the record I/O facilities in the JZOS component instead of the JRIO facilities. For more information about JZOS, see JZOS Java Launcher and Toolkit Overview http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/java/products/jzos/overview.html For information about migration from JRIO to JZOS and sample code, see IBM Java Record I/O (JRIO) to IBM JZOS Batch Toolkit Migration and Sample Code http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/java/products/jzos/ sdk601_jrio2jzos_mig.html While the deprecation will only be marked in the z/OS Java SE SDK 6.0.1 and z/OS SDK SE 7 releases, customers are encouraged to use JZOS (instead of JRIO) in the other existing z/OS Java SE products. For a list of products, see http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/java/products/allproducts.html HTH, <snip> I have received an info (ICN 1422) from IBM they will abandon the Batch Runtime Environment.
