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.

That's I still don't see the logic, since the 36EE (w/ SSP effectively supported) is still available.

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.....

Of course not, but why kill the income from those customers' upgrades?
