Whenever I've seen something about the next release of z/OS, IBM have always
referred to it as "the release after z/OS x.x". I suspect it's in case the
marketing department notice and decide it's going to be called something else..

Is it named V2.4 or V3.1 or ...?
The few references I saw about the z/OS version after 2.3 was named "the z/OS
version after 2.3".

Yet another possible complication/variation is if you're connecting via
TN3270E versus TN3270. The "E" protocol handles certain special keys
properly (or should), and the earlier protocol did not.

There used to be an issue with below the line control blocks when having
lots of eligible volumes that were not being used. Lots of vsam + lots of

The statement that the DC is never used again after allocation was true, until
Dynamic Volume Count was introduced. A Data set allocated with a DC with a
