z/VSE is built on a heritage of ongoing refinement and innovation that spans four decades. It is designed to protect and leverage customer investments in z/VSE information assets. |
Note (1): The minimum z/VM level applies when z/VSE is running as a guest under z/VM. In some cases, the minimum level of z/VM may not be supported. For information on the service status of z/VM, please refer to the z/VM web site.
Note (2): z/VSE V4.2, CICS/VSE V2.3, DL/I V1.10 and DL/I V1.11 will be withdrawn from service effective at 10/31/2012. z/VSE V4.2 is the last release that offers CICS/VSE V2.3 and DL/I V1.10. CICS/VSE V2.3 and DL/I V1.10 are not included in any future version or release of z/VSE.
