Software withdrawal and support discontinuance: IBM System z selected products

Last one for this week : 'Software withdrawal and support discontinuance: IBM System z selected products (ZP13-0022)'. There's a whole list of softwares for which support will no longer be provided. Dates range from July 26, 2013 up to September 30, 2014. Just take a look whether there are products involved that you are using.

I just want to point out a couple of them. There's e.g. z/VSE V4.3 (5609-ZV4) that will be withdrawn from service on September 30, 2013. Replacement is of course z/VSE V5.1 (5609-ZV5).  Along with that is the replacement of z/VSE Central Functions V8.3 (5686-CF8) by z/VSE Central Functions V9.1 (5686-CF9)

Another one is IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V4.1 (5655-S71) that will be replaced by IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V4.2 (5655-S71). End of Service is on April 30, 2014.
