SELCOPY Usage Policy for Operating System Migration
While a SELCOPY for Mainframe licence or SELCOPY for iSeries, UNIX or PC server licence remains in place, customers migrating to a different platform on which the SELCOPY product is supported, may use the product on both platforms on the strength of the original licence, for a period not exceeding 12 months at no extra cost, provided a letter of authorisation has been obtained from CBL.

SELCOPY for PC Free Licences
SELCOPY customers on Mainframe, AS400, UNIX and PC server platforms are entitled to use SELCOPY for Windows, at no extra cost, on a specified number of PC workstations. Although SELCOPY for Windows identifies itself as SELCOPY/WNT in its listing output, it is, however, compatible with all current versions of Windows including XP and 2000.

The number of PC workstation licences incorporated within licences for SELCOPY Mainframe, AS/400, UNIX and PC Server is based on the CBL Charge Group for the licensed machine. For example, a Group 80 mainframe would be entitled to 50 PC workstation licences. Please see the Product Pricing Schedule for further information.

If you are an existing SELCOPY user and have not already received your password for the Windows version, please email CBL Technical Support (support@cbl.com) with your name, company name and contact details and with a subject line of "SELCOPY/WNT".

SELCOPY for IBM Mainframe is written in IBM Mainframe Assembler, is currently linked as AMODE=24 and uses standard data management and system routines throughout.

Fixes to SELCOPY 2.02 (referred to as ZAPs) are produced to address specific problems and possibly introduce minor new features into the product.

The following table lists only those SELCOPY ZAPs that are necessary for successful execution on specific versions/releases of each supported operating system.

IBM Mainframe Base Systems:

For full maintenance to SELCOPY on Mainframe platforms, please review and download the latest SELCOPY 2.02 ZAPs from the SELCOPY Technical Support page.

The following table, covering top of range to bottom of range, is a sample cross section of mainframe processors and operating systems on which SELCOPY 2.02 is known to be operational.

SELCOPY for AS/400, UNIX and PC is written in the C++ Language.

Program fixes to SELCOPY for AS/400, UNIX and PC are provided as replacement SELCOPY executables. From release 2.08 onwards, each new executable has an associated Build level.

Due to the nature of SELCOPY's operation and functionality, it is anticipated that an early version of SELCOPY, installed by a user on a specific level of an operating system, will continue to operate unchanged on a later level of that operating system. However, the following table lists the recommended, minimum SELCOPY release and Build Level for use on specific versions/releases of each supported operating system.

The latest SELCOPY executable is available for download under Full Product files (Zipped) on the SELCOPY downloads page.

The following table, covering top of range to bottom of range, is a sample cross section of AS/400, UNIX and PC processors and operating systems on which SELCOPY 2.07 is known to be operational.
