VSE Compatibility Matrix
The following table of product release levels reflects the most current release of the product in General Availability (GA). The column "Highest CICS Supported" reflects the highest Customer Information Control System (CICS) release the product is known to work on. This does not mean that the product will not function under higher releases, only that it has not yet been confirmed for them. Where further clarification is required, a note is provided under the table. These amplifications are reflected in the table with (n) entries. When products have no relationship to CICS, "N/A" (Not applicable) is indicated.
