RE: SYS21 - IBM OS/400 V5R1 with JBA System/21 3.5.0

This is a variation on your question (and maybe more suited to Midrange-L),
but we made a decision two weeks ago to not upgrade any further past V4r5.
We run a 620-2179 and I felt $7,000 per year for the software subscription
service was no longer cost justifiable.  I realize official support for v4r5
ends 12/31/02, but my understanding is IBM will still provide support for
one more year after that?  Our system is very stable right now.  Anyway, I
would rather spend the $7,000 per year on a larger used system (if needed).
Any comments?

Has anyone running version 3.5.0, upgraded their iSeries/AS400 box to OS
release level V5R1M0?

If so, what type of problems (if any) did you encounter, and how did you
resolve them?

Thanks!
