  In a JES3 JESplex, JES3 release HJS7790 can co-exist with
  releases HJS7750, HJS7760, HJS7770, and HJS7780.  Support
  of new function in JES3 release HJS7790 requires toleration
  updates to pre-HJS7790 JES3 releases.

  Parts IATYGLOB and IATMSR2 are updated to specify that JES3
  releases HJS7750, HJS7760, HJS7770, HJS7780, and HJS7790 can
  coexist and connect when the global is at any of the listed
  releases.
  
  Starting in z/OS V2R1, JES3 will be supported only if it is at
  the level that was shipped with the active MVS.  If JES3 and
  MVS are not at the appropriate z/OS level a MSGIAT3210 "JES3
  zv.rr.m is not supported on z/OS vv.rr.mm, reply CONTINUE or
  CANCEL" message will be issued at initialization to indicate
  the mismatch and accept an operator reply.  The operator will
  need to reply "CANCEL" to cancel JES3 initialization.  The
  operator will need to reply "CONTINUE" to allow the JES3
  initialization to complete.  Initializing in this environment
  may cause errors in applications that use JES3 services.
  
  Starting in z/OS V2R1, jobs can require a minimum MVS level
  for the execution based upon as determined during conversion.
  JES3 modules are updated to provide the MVS level when a local
  main is connecting to the global main.  Updates also adhere to
  the minimum MVS level when scheduling jobs for execution if a
  pre-HJS7790 level is used for the global main.
  
  Starting in z/OS V2R1, the Extended Status Subsystem Interface
  Function (SSI80) supports returning user data using 64-bit
  addressable storage.  To provide this support, the size of the
  STATSTOR DSECT (IAZSSST) has changed.  JES3 module IATGRES has
  been updated from using a fixed STATSTOR length to supporting
  variable STATSTOR lengths that may be generated across the
  releases which can co-exist in a JES3 JESplex.
  
  Starting in z/OS V2R1, JES3 supports two new initialization
  statement keywords: JOBTRACK for the OPTIONS initialization
  statement, SYSSYM for the CLASS initialization statement.
  JES3 modules are updated for pre-HJS7790 releases to recognize
  and support the existence of the new keywords in the
  initialization stream. This does not include support of the
  function or behavior provided by the new keywords which
  requires that the global be at the HJS7790 level or later.
  
  Starting in z/OS V2R1, JES3 supports in-stream data sets in
  cataloged procedures and INCLUDE groups.  JES3 modules are
  updated to build CSBT and JET control blocks for SYSIN data
  set JDS entries created when conversion of a job, using
  in-stream data sets, occurs in an HJS7790 CI FSS.
  
  The information in the following manuals should appear as
  indicated below.  Updates will only be made to the manuals in
  future releases.

  Explanation:
  
  >>-- JES3 z--v.rr.m-- is not supported on ----->
  >>-- z/OS -- vv.rr.mm --, reply CONTINUE or ----->
  >>-- CANCEL --------------------------------------><
  
  The started release of JES3 is not supported on the
  currently IPLed release of z/OS.  The operator can
  choose to continue or cancel JES3 initialization.
  
  System action: JES3 initialization waits for an
  operator response.
  
  Operator response: Enter one of the following:
  
    CONTINUE    Continue with JES3 initialization in the
                current, unsupported configuration.
  
    CANCEL      Cancel JES3 initialization.
