have pointed out numerous time before, I've had no problems at any of the
client sites jumping more than the "IBM recommended" migration jump.
In this particular case, they can probably pick up a used Z/series box and

I assumed the original poster's employer had done the "right thing" and
ordered z/OS 1.7 at some point in time. Perhaps that's a bad assumption.
Regardless, I would strongly recommend he ring IBM as soon as possible.

Is z/OS 1.7 even orderable
Jason,
For reference, your 9672-Z87 has a full capacity software rating of 217
MSUs. That's a relatively large machine, and I would strongly recommend
running the financial numbers immediately on getting to a 64-bit machine.
Every month your employer is paying full capacity (217 MSUs) for z/OS and

Up to 1.5 (iirc), there is/was bi-modal support for z/OS.
