The ad strongly implies that it would impact a successful z/OS 2.3 migration.
I agree there is no formal support. That is also true for a lot of open source software but because it is open source it is probably better supported than some vendor software. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.

The ad does not say they won't work anymore; just that they are unsupported. That is certainly a truism in any event for CBT software. If you're planning a z/OS migration, your CBT STEPLIB facility and CA TSOPLUS STEPLIB software is not supported, and won't easily transition to the latest z/OS operating systems.

I don't know the answer, but I did notice that there is additional support for RMODE(64) in z/OS 2.3. It is likely that some control blocks have changes to allow for 64-bit addresses. It is possible that such changes could cause problems. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
