I think we agree - he, as well as WE, will have to go to RDP eventually - by whatever name. It seemed to me that getting WDSC 7 on could be a proof of concept for that later date when they have to, especially if the OP can demonstrate how it is better, some things are easier, resulting code is cleaner - and that last one is a real possibility, I think. And WDSC 7 is free, so he wouldn't have to get his butt tanned for asking!

I think I misworded my second paragraph. What I meant to get at is this - try to get RDi. If you don't make the argument for it now, you will likely have to someday, and you might as well reap the benefits from it sooner rather than later.

WDSCi and RDi are mostly the same as far as an end-user is concerned, and where they are not the same, it's minor and easy to adjust to. When I did the RDi trial I didn't have any issues (that I recall) in regard to "How does this work?" Although they may have changed some of the shortcuts.

If you're going to 6.1, and don't ever plan on using 6.1+ enhancements (or relying on the IDE to error-check for you and not spit out errors for 6.1 enhancements that you are using), I would suggest trying to get management to pay for 6.1. In the grand scheme of things, it's not really that much, plus as someone who did a 90-day trial last August, I almost wish I didn't because I miss some of the speed improvements.

Thanks for the follow up.

Yes, we had 5.4 on. Would it be worth my while to learn WDSC 7?
Is the new product radically different? Or just given a new name and a few
enhancements?
I like free, (which does rhyme WDSC also).

Did you have V5R4 on that machine? If so, you should have CDs for WDSC 7 - you can still use that, and there is no cost other than the time to install and update.

There used to be bunches of tutorials for WDSC - went looking and am found wanting! But I did find a Redbook on WDSC 7 at

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/SG247578.html?Open

Mastering WDSC V7.0 and WDSC V7.0 Advanced Edition for i5/OS V5R4

is the title.
