I suggest you run this question past the IMS-List.

Subject: IMS 5 and z/OS 1.9?

 
  I know that this is rather un-usual combination . but currently we
have an old application under IMS 5 that runs OK under z/OS 1.7. The
chances of upgaring IMS is slim to none. So, we just have to get the
data and somehow make it available to the user. While that is happening,
we want to upgrade to z/OS 1.9. Just wondering if anyone would know (or
can guess) if IMS 5 will continue to run under z/OS 1.9 (on a z9 BC
machine). 
   
  Thanks

Not an answer, but nice to know you are running IMS 5 under z/OS 1.7.  
I thought you have to be at least at IMS V7 +2 PTFs to even run under
z/OS 1.6.  Of course, that is what is documented (based on supported
releases), perhaps not reality.
