Hi Rob,
We intend to do this as soon as we can. ANZOBJCVN is not available for
us yet (we run Lang #2939), but we've been compiling for target release
V5R2 (current version) or V5R3 (next version).
Something we will have to keep thinking about is releasing our software
- since we target primarily small business customers, we can't count on
16 cpus being available to do conversions. This might mean that we need
to buy a machine running V6R1 just to create media which don't take
hours to restore.
I don't think this is a bad move by IBM, but it doesn't make things
easier.
(In case you or anyone else is wondering: the software I'm talking about
is

Subject: Statement of readiness for V6R1
Any vendors issuing "Statements of readiness for V6R1" yet? Granted, I
would be happy with a caveat that basically says something to the effect
of "... this statement should only be construed to mean that all of our
currently supported versions, with the appropriate service packs (and
these are...), have been determined to comply with ANZOBJCVN as per
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4293.html . This statement
should not be construed to mean that there may not be other issues with
V6R1 that may need IBM's attention on ptf's, or some tweaking on our
part
to comply with new features or requirements."
