I think that I might have mentioned this before but I have successfully (several times) migrated 2.8 and 2.9 system to a Z9. Admittedly, we didn't leave the client there for very long, (less than a week) while we moved them to z/OS, but it ran okay. Brian Westerman

I can only speak for OS/390 2.9 and 2.10 on the Z9 as being able to run, I have never tried an older version, mostly because we have not had a client with an older version move to a Z9 (at least not with my help). I think that there are better ways to accomplish what you need though, I could
