    We are currently running 14.1 sp3 on a z/OS 1.10 and need to upgrade the OS to release 2.2. Has anyone run release 14.1 on z/OS 2.0-2.2? We would like to do the OS upgrade now and then perform an IDMS upgrade later. Thanks.

    I'm going to assume that you are referring to CA Common Services r14.1.  We are running CA Common Services 14.1 on both z/OS 2.1 and 2.2 with no issues. We are also running IDMS r19 on z/OS 2.1

    I will say this in general – I have NEVER had a release of IDMS that would NOT run on ANY release of MVS or z/OS - - does that help you in thois case? Maybe, but in ,my few years of experience – IDMS has tended to be os-release independent

    I don't have Z/OS 2.x available yet here, but I can tell you 14.1 runs fine on z/OS 1.13.  Recently I found I still had an old R12 loadlib laying around and I managed to get my tech. CV to run R12.01 under 1.13 also.  I don't imagine you will have any trouble running under z/OS 2.2.   Let us know how you make out with it.
