o Is this likely to seed a deluge of APARs, similar to the liberation of PDSE from SMS? o Downward compatibility. If a GRS complex contains systems at 1.12, and others at lower levels, will the facility be available, even among the 1.12 systems, before all systems are at 1.12? o Upward compatibility. Will a conversion operation be necessary? >"New PDSE functions are planned.
