One of our clients plans to upgrade to V5R1 and install OV/400 over it.

Comtech told this client that one of their customers had installed OV/400
over V5R1. The customer contacted IBM software support about V5R1 problems.
IBM asked if they had installed OV/400. The customer said yes, and IBM
immediately terminated their software support.


I thought installing OV400 "at your own risk" meant that if you had
problems, you couldn't expect IBM to help fix them. I would have expected
IBM to tell the customer to call back if the problems still existed after
removing OV/400.


So exactly what is at risk should they install OV/400 over V5R1?
