Even though we have several production LPARs running 1.8, this was the one I was most concerned about. Turns out I was right. We have 2 open LE issues. One is an abend in a PL/I 2.3 program running in CICS TS 2.3 (also failed in 3.1). Since it was holding up testing of a regulatory change due to go in this weekend, I almost had to back out on Tuesday. We were able to STEPLIB to the z/OS 1.6 version of SCEERUN and use that in DFHRPL to get around the problem. IBM has since provided a test fix that will get tested today. No APAR number yet, but there will be one. The other is a LE U4094 reason 18 in a DB2 program in batch. Still haven't proved it's not an application issue, but the app folks say that pointing to the production version of the program gets the same failure and this worked last week. Unfortunately, there is no DB2 data sharing involved here, so we can't run this on another LPAR in the sysplex that is still 1.6. We are still working on getting more diagnostic information for IBM (running tests with changes to LE options) for the U4094 reason 18. My next set of roll outs (one more devl LPAR and another production LPAR) is not for a month, so as long as we can get a work around or fix to the 2nd LE issue by early next week, I won't have to back out 1.8 in this environment and we can continue our roll out schedule as planned.
