This new announcement (although not official yet) doesn't change things in respect to z/OS 1.11. It also doesn't keep you from upgrading to z/OS 1.12 or z/OS 1.13 which you should have already been planning or been in the progress of doing based on the known EOS date for 1.11. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
