Re: V5R4? (was RE: OS 400 upgrade)

Whereas IBM always supports compiling down to current release - 2, and,
  V4R4 end of support was around the time of V5R1 GA, and,
  V4R5 end of support was between the time of V5R2 announce and it's GA 
date, and,
  V5R1 end of support is 9/30/2005, and,
  COMMON Orlando is September 18-22 in 2005,
I suspect that the follow on to V5R3 will be announced at, or shortly 
before, COMMON Orlando, and the GA will be no later than some time in 
October 2005.

Other considerations:
IBM has not had a fall announcement since V4R3.  Only 3 of 19 
announcements of os/400 releases have been fall announcements.

All this speculation is solely based on the referenced website and not on 
any "inside" information.

Keep on eye on "Future Releases" here
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/support/planning/nav.html
for any future hardware and software compatibilities.
They've already announced the servers that will not be able to upgrade 
past V5R3.  (Our four boxes are cool.)

Dan,

If you missed, I also missed it.  However, with the amount of publicity 
IBM
has been having about AS/400 products, that could be the direction that
they are going in:-((((((
