Hi Lizette,
Might I suggest something much more customized for your system and modern?  The 
z/OSMF Software Management "End of service" report (Maintenance reports -> End 
of service)  is one of the best hidden gems in z/OSMF!

Also - the input file format that IBM uses has been shared with the ISV 
community, so this could be exploited by others to give you truly a 
system-stack view.  

My only criticism is that I have to shrink my screen down considerably to get 
the whole "spectrum" view that I want.  But this might not be a consideration 
for you.   It is so intuitive to use, you should be able to get immediate 
reports, if you have z/OSMF set up and have access to Software Management.  
(And have your software instances set up -- but these take only minutes to do 
if you haven't done that yet.)

Let us know what you think, once you try it out.
