likewise there is a company here locally that has been trying for 5-6
years to move off the iSeries to oracle...they just can't seem to get the
job done...seems that converting their in-house stuff is a little more
difficult than they thought ;-)

Thanks,

Re: Help! Boss wants to know why ILE?






Let the boss figure it out - restate the question as "why then use the
iSeries"?

It's not about the constructs of the language - it's the 'integration',
the I in ILE and the i in iSeries and what that brings to the business.
It's just another step in keeping and using the competitive advantage the
i provides.

"As far as losing AS/400's,..."

We have one shop locally that tried for four years to pull the plug on the

i.

Last week I found out they fired their CIO and re-committed to the i. They

tried to move to unix and couldn't make it work. They even rejoined Common

and one person will be in Anaheim.

Score one for the 'good' guys!
