Notes

¹ This column reflects the End of Service for the C/C++ compilers only. For the Operating System, refer to z/OS, z/OS.e, and OS/390 marketing and service announce, availability, and withdrawal dates.

² For the key dates for the Runtime Libraries (General Availability, End-of-Marketing and End-of-Service), refer to Language Environment for z/OS and Language Environment for OS/390 and VM. For the Runtime Libraries that originally shipped with the compiler, you should refer to the C/C++ Compiler and Run-Time Migration Guide for information about the compatibility between compilers and later runtime libraries.

³ As of z/OS V1R3, the same C/C++ compiler that is shipped in the z/OS release is also shipped in the corresponding z/OS.e (5655-G52) release.

For information on z/OS.e, see z/OS.e
