How can I reduce the NLEVELS for the index? >> CLICK for Craig's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid515253_tax293066,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NEED HELP MIGRATING FROM OS/390 2.8 TO Z/OS 1.4? | Ask the Expert Dear Jim Schesvold, I'm considering migrating directly to z/OS 1.4 from OS/390 2.8 (instead of going to 2.10 then 1.4).
