First off, a whole SLEW of things in CL don't work from S/38 to AS/400,
including the dot notation for libraries and objects.  I wasn't talking
about CL, which is far closer tied to the OS than RPG.

Second, the RPLLIBL issue has been hashed to death on this list alone
about six MILLION times (many of them by Al Barsa).  Do a search on the
keywords Barsa, library and list.  If you weren't prepared for that,
then you simply didn't do your homework.  No sympathy here.

Third, if the only thing you had to change was RPLLIBL and the source
member type and you're still bitching, then you seriously have all warp
power diverted to the clue deflector shields.  Try taking a 10-year old
Windows C program and running it on Windows XP.  Tell me how many things
you have to change. 

Then to get back to reality for a moment, tell us exactly how many RPG
programs you had to change.

Joe
