We just finished up an early test with a handful of clients and are in the process of closing all of the V2R3 APARs. (Due to preReq's, they all can't close at the same time). The plan is for all of the ptf's to be available in May. The support will be in the base of V2R4. Thanks, Glenn

No, I think he's right, it says in the document that it is supposed to be available in June of 2019. z/OS 2.4 isn't going to be available until September. Brian -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access
