Linux RedHat ES v. 3.0 update 3 VS a newer version of RedHat

I have some server software to install. The documentation calls for Linux RedHat ES v. 3.0 update 3.

I do not have the CDs on hand.

Would a newer version of RedHat provide the same functionality as RH-ES V 3.0 update 3?

TBH, you should contact the supplier. Usually a version num is the minimum reqd, but it may rely on specific quirks in that version that may have changed in later versions.
You could try the CENTOS (free rebuild of RHEL) version if it's still avail, but RHEL3 is basically dead, see https://access.redhat.com/support/po...pdates/errata/.

Well,
after a little more research and some added assistance from the forums I was able to track down the RHEL software. Got things up and running after that.
