Re: OS400 Upgrade path

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Even if you were to get a new machine, wouldn't the ease of moving
from old-->new when both are at v5r4 mean it would make sense to
upgrade the 270 to v5r4?

But as Lucas points out, IBM doesn't support v5r1-->v5r4, you're going
to need either v5r2 or v5r3 in the middle.  Getting your hands on them
will be the issue, as you can't get them from IBM anymore.

Good luck!
Charles
