Our Test system was upgraded to 1.7 and our production system remained at 1.4 for about a month. As long as you have applied all the necessary toleration/coexistence PTFs, then I don't see a problem running LE 1.7 in Test and LE 1.4 in Production. About the only thing that I can see is if you are using a new function that it is only available under z/OS 1.7, then obviously it would not work very well under z/OS 1.4 (assuming a toleration PTF is not available). >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
