Hi,

WDSC comes together with a new release shipment, if you have a license
for 5722-WDS.

Tell your BP to reorder the V5R4 shipment for your machine, or whatever
release level you are on.

If you want, I can send you CD Images of WDSC which we got with our V5R4
shipment - Contact me Off-List.

Subject: Re: WDSC vs SEU RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than
Switch

I'm about to install an old version OF WDSC (5 something) because its
been 2
wks and our BP is STILl checking on how to get the newest WDSc and what
it
will cost us (which is NOTHING, but he has no idea.....)

I am a newbie to WDSC and I am trying to use it exclusively, however
there
are things I find SEU better for, (cut and paste blocks of code for

don't
know b**ger all yet. :-)

One thing that is annoying is that we are on 5.1.0. and the &*%^*&(^
thing
keeps falling over, and being a newbie I have yet to get into the
habit of
periodically saving my changes, (is there a way to automate this?) so
I have
to keep re-doing hours of work. I am just getting back into using it
after
two weeks of exclusive SEU, because the thing fell over four times in
one
morning.

We are on version 5.2 on the iSeries will the latest version of WDSC
work
on that? As we are losing the iSeries they are not bothered, it seems,
about
upgrading it to 5.4

this comment bugged me a little...

In 25 years of coding in RPG I have never heard of a company losing
business because a programmer was compiling. Correct me if I am wrong,
but
isn't that what the time slice is for? So EVERYTHING gets an equal
bite at
the cherry? And as for doing a walkthrough to ensure no errors before
compilation are you saying that there were no bugs before we got
interactive
programming instead of batch? As an operator on an ICL 1903 we watched
the
same jobs come in every night for months before the programs were
finally
put live. Forgive me if I am wrong but the implication is that if you
don't
spend hours walking thru your code, (which could be done in minutes
with the
compiler) then you are not a good programmer.

Just my thoughts

Steve
