Next ZOS release

[lfbeach]

Good afternoon,  Management is wondering if a new CMOD Zos release is expected in 2025.  (Just for planning purposes) We are currently on V10.5

Hi Lori -

As of this date, nothing has been announced.

I get occasionally asked when is the next release is coming out.

I can truthfully say I have no idea. The Chief Architect does not confide in me.  :-)

However, I can say that in the past support continues for at least 2 years for the n-1 level of CMOD after the new "n" level is announced.

I anticipate even if a new release is announced today you'll have all of 2026 to implement it.

I also know that new function is being promulgated via fixpacks, so it pays to stay fairly current.
