Hi Buck

I fully understand the distinction Nathan is drawing; I just happen to
think the statement "doesn't run on IBM i" is absurd.

He's choosing to draw a line between 'native' IBM i and PASE.

At home, I write machine code for PIC micros, so I can definitely
appreciate that line. However, at work, I'm an application programmer.
I don't care whether a given 'machine instruction' executes in
horizontal, vertical, PASE, or 'native IBM i'. I care only if I can
access the functionality from an RPG program via CALL/PARM or
CALLP/sub-procedure.

The things we can execute that way are 'IBM i' and the things we cannot
are 'PASE'.
