The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
This triggers what has been a growing concern for me. (This is not a shot
at you, Mark, but a general comment on the industry.)
In the last 14 years that I've worked on AS/400, one thing considered
crucial, and a very strong selling point, was backward compatibility. But I
see the java (and maybe open source) world giving this less shrift than I
think it should. Every release of Eclipse seems to require changes in how
we are to work, from different arrangements of windows and menu options, to
internal API calls. And the worst part of this is, we put up with this.
All the deprecated stuff in java will eventually not work at all. OTOH, the
400 can probably compile an RPG I source member - I know it'll do an RPG II
program.

I think that most of us wouldn't
mind the occasional "screw-up" slipping through if it meant quicker turn
around on some of these problems.
