A customer wants to upgrade the operating system to z/OS 2.4. They are currently running the following SoftwareAG software,  
ADABAS + SQL V8.3.3  
Natural + Security+VSAM V8.2.5  
PAC V2.6.1  
Predict 8.3.2

What are the required versions of the above software that is compatible with z/OS 2.4?

You can look this up on Empower \> Products & Documentation \> Product Versions

Product Family | Product - Product Version  
? Operating System and Hardware \* Version Lifecycle Milestone  
GA OS Retirement EOM EOSS  
Product Family: Adabas | Adabas [ADA] 8.4.2  
? z/OS 2.3 - IBM 2017-10-31 - 2021-04-30 -  
Product Family: Adabas | Adabas [ADA] 8.4.1  
? z/OS 2.3 - IBM 2017-10-31 - 2019-12-31 -  
Product Family: Adabas | Adabas [ADA] 8.3.4  
? z/OS 2.3 - IBM 2017-10-31 - 2020-04-30 -

Since z/OS 2.4 is not yet listed, I’d recommend opening a Support Request ticket to find out when it will be supported.
