Re: If - Else - Endif advise

The upgrade to V5R3 from V5R1 will be withdrawn this Friday. Upgrade to V5R2 from V5R1 was withdrawn 01 Oct 2005. There is NO direct upgrade to V5R4 from V5R1.

Hope you have the V5R2 media - if not, get V5R3 ordered now!! Of course, without SWMA on the V5R1 box, sounds like the SPDMNY command. Do you have any boxes current on maintenance and at least V5R2?

Again, good luck!

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...

The only reason that comes to mind for upgrading to V5R2 now is that it
was ordered back when it was available and V5R3 never was ordered.

Since V5R3 hasn't gone out of marketing yet, I would _strongly_ urge
bypassing V5R2 altogether if it is at all possible. It requires
reviewing Memo to Users and similar docs for both upgrades, and
therefore it can require more preparation.

But that seems far better than upgrading to an unsupported release.
