All applications that use the IBM Open Class Headers and Service Programs need to be
refreshed using the C++ Standard Library provided with 5722-WDS and 5722-SS1.
When discontinued, IBM Open Class Headers shipped in library QSYSINC with a descriptive
text of “IOC HEADER”, and the IBM Open Class Service Programs, QYPPOC370 and
QYPPOC510, shipped in library QSYS will be removed.
Documentation will be available by the end of September 2001 to assist migration from IBM
Open Class to the C++ Standard Library. This documentation will be available as a link from
the iSeries Planning page located at:
