Other than WSU,assembler routines and lost RPG source code, there really
isn't any  good reason to NOT go to S36EE which works just fine. IBM 
just doesn't want to continue supporting SSP and there may be some
migration issues that we aren't aware of. I'm not a big defender of IBM
but the support of SSP had to end some time, so I guess it's now. 

The other possible solution, is the folks running in this environment
simply stay at the release that allows the M36. There are no rules that
force you to go to the next release.....
