That's the basis for the question. Waaay back when IBM was talking about an annual release schedule, they announced a four release support policy. I'm not seeing that now. Maybe I'm not reading the dates right ??? I'd have to do some searching just to come up with the doc I think I read that in. Does nobody else recall that ???
Dave, I always recall 3 years except when z/OS 1 came out; now 3 years sometimes meant 4 releases when they were releasing sometimes annually and sometimes semi-annually. But 3 years has been pretty consistent except for the OS/390 to z/OS transition.
