z/os 1.8 drop date is 9/2009

Since 1.9 is the currently available release, you might find it
difficult at
at this point, considering 1.10 will be out in 8 months, I would go with 1.9 if

were you.
also, 1.8 will not be co-existence supported with 1.11

N+3 support died with semi-annual release some time ago.
Now, a system is supported for three years and will coexist with any
other currently supported system. A much simpler philosophy.

Unless you have major issues with software running on the latest release, I
would always recommend the most current available, when upgrading.
And, this would include all software, not just the OS.

Going to the current release also depends on how far behind you are. If you're
farther than N+2, you can't upgrade more than 2 releases and still be
supported. If you are currently at 1.6, you can't go furthur than 1.8 and
remain supported by IBM. Chances are you won't having any problems

Actually you can go to 1.9. Support is N+3, not N+2.
However JES2 might be the problem, as there were major changes that required
many companies to rewrite their exits when they upgraded to 1.7 or higher.

Re: Coexistence, yes, it's extremely important to stay current.
However, if you're sitting back at z/OS 1.(low number) or OS/390 or (gasp!)
MVS, the best (and maybe only) strategy is to make one big, giant jump to
currency, then stay current. In that first jump you won't be able to share
