Need Gentran 5.3.1.4 to support Oracle Database 12C

System: Gentran 5.3.1 (patch level 4)
Actor: Oracle database

All of the Oracle databases in our organization are being upgraded to Oracle 12C.

Gentran 5.3.1 does not support Oracle 12C. In order to stay current and allow our DBAs and support teams a common release level, I want to request that IBM certify Gentran 5.3.1.4 and later versions on Oracle Database 12C.
