Re: Death of RPG38 and RPG36 -and- more!

like officevision, which ibm extended at least once, but ibm has certainly
put the 1st nail in the coffin....at let shops know what's coming. I imagine, 
till some shops woke up and checked, IBM had no real idea how many
still run the old stuff.

Quoting from the article:
"First up, IBM says that WebSphere Development Studio for iSeries V5R4
will be the last release to ship with RPG II and COBOL compilers that are
compatible with the System/36 and RPG III and COBOL compilers that are
compatible with the System/38. ...


IBM has withdrawn the planning statement about withdrawing support for
the 36- and 38-compatible RPG and COBOL compilers.  If I recall this
thread correctly, this is probably good news for some and bad news for
others on this list :)
