Uh, I don't think you understand the question: we have a few products on the market. And while the Memo to Users gives me no reason why those products would break under V7R6 (we got rid of the undocumented system calls and deprecated MI instructions over a quarter century ago; the closest thing we have to a "hack" is the ability to open files with LOB fields in QuestView, a pure RLA application), I'd like a second opinion.
