Migrating to z/OS R8 Part 1 of 3: Get Ready
XML C++ Parser for the OS/390 2.10 C++ Compiler for z/OS (Web Deliverable)
The XML C++ Parser for the OS/390 V2.10 C++ Compiler for z/OS (XML C++ Parser 1.4 for z/OS) provides continued
support for the OS/390 V2.10 C++ Compiler shipped within z/OS. The XML C++ Parser 1.4 for z/OS is a repackaging of
the C++ parser originally shipped within the IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS and OS/390 V1.4. This Web deliverable was
available on September 24, 2004 at

IBM Infoprint Transform products
IBM is replacing the Infoprint Server Transforms for z/OS product with five separately orderable offerings. These products
are available June 17, 2005 and offer:
* Improved image quality in PostScript and PDF to AFP converted output
* Improved font support and Latin2 language support in PCL to AFP
* Support for later levels of the data streams converted to AFP
* New function in the AFP to PDF transform
* Support for additional AFP capabilities in all transforms from AFP
* Separate availability of the Coaxial Printer Support function with additional support
1) Infoprint Transforms to AFP V2.1 for z/OS (5655-N60)
Transforms that are included in this offering are:
* PCL to AFP (supports PCL6)
* PostScript to AFP (supports PostScript Level 3 and earlier, and produces monochrome output)
* PDF to AFP (supports PDF 1.4 and earlier, and produces monochrome output)
* SAP/R3 to AFP
2) Infoprint Transform for AFP to HP PCL V2.1 for z/OS (5655-P19) transforms AFP to PCL5, PCL5c, and PCL5e
(result is PCL text and image).
3) Infoprint Transform for AFP to Adobe PDF V2.1 for z/OS (5655-P20) transforms AFP to PDF 1.4 and has been
significantly enhanced to include new capabilities that support richer PDF content, and the ability to encrypt the document
while converting to prevent unauthorized use of the PDF document. AFP documents containing indexing, page grouping,
and hyperlink commands will be converted into PDF documents with bookmarks for easier navigation using the Acrobat
reader.
Documents can also be enhanced to provide richer content and flexible access to related information. The AFP linking
command (LLE) can also be used to refer to objects external to the AFP document. The AFP to PDF transform will now
process these links to include the external reference in the resulting PDF document. This capability can be used, for
example, to include an Internet address in the PDF document.
4) Infoprint Transform for AFP to Adobe PostScript V2.1 for z/OS (5655-P21) transforms AFP to PostScript Level 3.
In addition to enhanced PDF output, all of the transforms now support many AFP capabilities not supported by the
existing Infoprint Server Transforms for z/OS product. New AFP functions now supported include:
