Fresche Solutions statements regarding CA 2E and its long-term viability

Products

• CA 2E

Issue/Introduction

It has been brought to our attention that Fresche Solutions has recently stated “IBM's recently announced plans to end PL/I support and ownership changes all raise concerns about [CA 2E’s] long-term viability”.

Environment

CA 2E all versions

Resolution

We want to assure all of our CA 2E customers that Broadcom is committed to maintain and support CA 2E for the foreseeable future. Any change in a product’s direction will be announced via Broadcom’s official support notifications, rather than from other unofficial sources.

Regarding ownership change:

During the six years since Broadcom acquired CA Technologies (including CA 2E), Broadcom has continued to support CA 2E as usual. That change in ownership has had no impact on CA 2E’s long term viability.

Regarding IBM's recently announced plans to end PL/I Compiler support:

There is no direct impact to CA 2E customers with IBM's recently announced plans to end PL/I Compiler support. Your CA 2E development and production environment requires PL/I Runtime only and does not require the PL/I Compiler.

If you have any questions, please contact CA 2E Broadcom Support at Broadcom Support Online
(Broadcom Support web site), your local Broadcom Account Manager, Customer Success Manager or Broadcom Customer Care online at Broadcom Customer care web site where you can submit an online request using the Customer Care web form: Customer Care web form. You can also call Broadcom Customer Care at [phone] in North America or see contact numbers for the local number in your country.
