Re: QU1, QU2, ST1, etc.

Thanks for the replies, all.

On Rob #7, what I meant was that normally when you're installing a new
product you're doing it for some specific reason, to gain some specific
functionality. Years later, when somebody asks you "Why do we need
5733-blah blah blah?" you will know the answer because you remember why
it was added. On the other hand, with things you've "inherited", you may
not know exactly what functionality came with them because they were
there when you got there and you've never been on a system that didn't
have them.

It's not that the installation process told you anything, it's that you
were present so that you understand the reason behind the installation.
Just like in your V3R2 example, being present through all those releases
gives you a better understanding of what evolved into what, compared
with someone who takes over your job tomorrow and doesn't know that
there were individual products before 5722-WDS. I say you have a better
understanding of WDS from being around before there was a WDS.

7 - How the blazes would installing them from scratch versus upgrading
an
existing machine tell you any of the new features from an older version?

If I put 5722WDS on a new machine, versus an upgrade, would that tell me

what has changed since V3R2? Heck no. All that would tell you is that
the LPP is not called 57##RG1 anymore (where ## is some number). I'd
have
to read the "What has changed" part of the RPG Reference. That and what

references I could find that tell me that WDSC is included, etc.
