I don't have an answer to that question, but you might want to consider the following, from the z/OS 2.4 preview announcement. https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS219-013/index.html z/OS Migration Workflow Starting in z/OS V2.4, IBM intends to no longer provide the z/OS Migration publication, GA32-0889, in its current format. Since z/OS V2.2, the preferred method for learning about migration actions has been the z/OS Migration Workflow. Discovering, performing, and verifying many migration actions through the z/OS MF Workflow function instead of a more traditional book format allows for a tailored and specific upgrade path associated with a particular system. Starting with the z/OS V2.4 release and later, IBM intends to continue to provide migration tasks in a z/OS MF Workflow, as well as a single exported file. By providing the z/OS V2.4 migration materials in both formats, users still can enjoy the advantages of a z/OSMF Workflow as well as being able to search, browse, and print in a more traditional format. With the removal of the traditional z/OS Migration publication, GA32-0889, it is strongly recommended that you plan for your next upgrade by having z/OS MF ready to use in at least one location in your enterprise. Notice that the exported format of the z/OS migration materials that can be easily read or printed for those without any z/OS MF capabilities will not be tailored for any environment. When the z/OS workflow for migration is provided for z/OS V2.4, it is to be renamed the z/OS Upgrade Workflow to better identify that each z/OS release contains a higher level of functionality than the prior release. In general, the term upgrade will be used in place of migration. The z/OS Upgrade Workflow is planned to be provided using the git repository for IBM/IBM-Z-zOS, which today hosts the z/OS Migration Workflows. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
