Management needs a more compelling reason to go to V4R5 than the fact that our OS is ''old".
It takes a lot of time and effort to do an upgrade so they want to know what it buys us. Typically, we're forced to do upgrade

the OS because of new hardware.

With an unsupported OS, all you can do is HOPE that you won't have a
problem. Because noone is going to help you.

Upgrade _now_, while you're still fully supported. This is not a
decision that should be made by management and instead by technical
staff.

OTOH, if management does not want to upgrade, make sure you get a
written disclaimer from them that they'll be running a configuration
unsupported by IBM.
