You should be good then! V2.4 should be supported for 4 years from fall of 2019 if I am not mistaken

WSA is an application that runs on your local workstation and maintains a connection between the workstation and the ISPF host. It is primarily used to transfer files between the workstation and the host. IBM recommends using more current file transfer solutions such as those provided by the Zowe Dataset Explorer, z/OS FTP, and similar file transfer mechanisms. These solutions have more capabilities, including the ability to provide secure communications." I have a lot of tools in my box that rely on WSA. WSA is so easy to automate using ISPF services that I will hard pressed to find alternatives that are as seamless to use. On the other hand, I am only a few years away from retirement so I may not bother. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
