If they won't upgrade to V3R2 tell them they won't have to worry about the AS/400's going away in 3 to 5 years, because their business will go away in (less than) 2 years. Then they can burn in hell ! :-) What's their problem ? Apart from the one machine at V2R3 the others are all licensed for V3 already and the upgrade will cost them only the media & handling charge (it would be $300 Canadian, so I'm sure it's less than that in the US). V3R1 is supposedly V3R1 compliant with all the required PTF's but I would not trust that - go to V3R2. Besides, V3R1 is no longer (or won't be before 1999 is out) a supported release. ...

In doing the analysis of their software & systems in general, I have told them they need to upgrade the OS (1 machine V2R3, 2 machines V3R0M5, 1 machine V3R1). The company is balking against this upgrade, giving the reasoning that the 400's are going away in 3-5 years. What reasonings can I use to get this company to upgrade the OS? Was I correct in telling them that these OS's are not Y2K compliant? Will the company be burned if they stay on these OS's thru Y2K? Any comments are appreciated.
