Re: New Release?

Either the product planners are clueless about how we use this product,

they think they have us over a barrel and want to milk us, or there's some
underlying technical issue that they haven't fixed yet and aren't telling us
about.

Or they are sick of supporting two editors for RPG and two environments that
require two different programmer mindsets on their part(i.e. Java for LPEX
and C/C++ for CODE).  I can see the reasoning for dropping CODE.  I am with
you though on the front of charging for it though.  I would rather see them
increase the compiler charge because if these AE features prove to be
powerful then we will have to beg management to get out the checkbook.  If
it was included in the compiler charge then it is more "hidden" IMO.

If you look at the announcement letter or the planning statement for CODE,
you'll see that it's been 'deprecated' - it won't be changed to support any
new releases of OS/400, and it won't be included in future versions of
WDSCi.  Either the product planners are clueless about how we use this
product, they think they have us over a barrel and want to milk us, or
there's some underlying technical issue that they haven't fixed yet and
aren't telling us about.

I as long as CODE still exists.. I won't be begging for an upgrade.
