Re: If - Else - Endif advise

Thanks all.
Just for clarification...we don't currently have an SWMA...that is the
reason for the high cost.

Dave,

If they don't have SWMA (Software Maintenance Agreements) then they have
to pay for an upgrade. Generally, you can pull PTF's and CUME's even
without SWMA but an upgrade requires the *SPENDMONEY command.

Are they charging for upgrades now? I've been out of the administration
side for a number of years, so if I missed something, I apologize. It's
just that it always used to be free (or only a nominal media charge) as

as you were current on software maintenance.

Before giving up, though, is the cost of the upgrade for just one system
prohibitive? As I suggested before, you don't need to install it, either

on

that one system or company wide - just get the media, install WDSCi 7 on

PCs

or server, and then store the boxes somewhere.

I spoke to my superior after reading your post and was told that an

upgrade

to V5R4 may cost approximately a million dollars due to the number of
boxes.
As a consolation he did tell me that it was scheduled to upgrade our last
box to V5R2...doh...
