Re: BPCS support alternatives

You'd think that after 10 years AS/SET would be a more stable product
generating far more efficient code.  I personally think that the reliance on
this product was a contributory factor of the decline of SSA - it simply
didn't improve the BPCS product and did not improve application development
times especially when using the BPCS shell program.  In the early days, I
remember going in an physically fixing the subfile routines :-( ... somebody
pass me my pipe and slippers!

I know that there are a number of companies and houses out there who have
used AS/SET to develop extras to your BPCS suite and for mods, the use of
this product was necessary but I certainly am one of many people who will be
glad to see the back of it.
