RE: Aldon vs V5R3 was SAVLIB vs SAVOBJ

IBM removing support for the OCL is no excuse.  For one IBM announced a long
time ago that it was going to be removed.  The source is also available so
they (Aldon) could compile and ship the libraries themselves.

Rob,

Actually, the problem appears to be with the LM product (aka Affiniti) not
the LM(i) product (aka green screen ACMS).

I don't think I can hold it against Aldon, given the information I have.
"IBM removed support for the Open Class Library, a library on which the
Aldon LM server depends. Aldon has made the necessary changes to the Aldon
LM product to support OS/400 V5R3.  Testing these changes uncovered OS/400
SQL defects which were forwarded to  IBM for repair.  We recently received a
test PTF from IBM for the reported issues; the test fixes did resolve the
issues found.
We await the permanent fix from IBM before we are able to certify the
product for OS/400 V5R3."

Now as of, Dec-2004, the level 3 database group PTF did not include the PTF
needed.  It could at that time be ordered separately.

I haven't heard if the PTF has made it into the latest group or cume yet.
