Rob,

I have seen places where the VRM is in more than six characters, but mostly
it is in six characters.  Too much stuff will break.  The only way that
were able to slip a V2 to us is that it came after the collating sequence
after R03M00.

If they can do your favorite requests like add more libraries to the
library list and that stuff, surely they can handle a reformatting like
V10R01M00?  Anyway, I don't see that happening for 10 years or so.

Subject
The Day the Music Dies (was:  RE: backup spool file)







In all seriousness, most OS/400 users think that V9 is as Don McClain once
said, "the day the music dies".  Not true, but that's the perception.

Point 1:          i5OS, or OS/400, or whatever the heck you want to call
it
is really an extension of CPF.
Point 2:          Many software vendors assume that the "next release" of
any OS will be higher in the collating sequence than the prior release.
This means that changing from V9R9M9 to V1R1M0 will not be as simple a
process as just loading a new release.  It will have to coincide with some
major system event, such as changing from CPF to OS/400, or CISC to RISC.

I don't see a way around this.

Personally, I was betting on V9R3M6. <VBG>

What are you talking about Don?  I know nothing about the next release of
OS/400.  Will it be V7R4????
