RE: How to order V5R1 of wdts

["Westdorp, Tom" <Tom.Westdorp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is worth noting that Code v5r1 edit checks and verifies at v5r1 only.  

If you run code v5r1 and are attached to a v4r5 box you will be allowed to
use bif's, RPG /free, etc that are only available on v5r1 and later boxes in
your PC session(s).  Edit likes them, verify likes them, but compiles fail.
Code only has the latest compiler on your PC.  

This really isn't much of a change over say SEU though, if your development
box was a release ahead of a production or customer box.  SEU edits at
current level, but you had to compile to *PRV and therefore compiles would
fail if you used new stuff.

>I'm still confused.  

Not surprising.  The marketeers have gone berserk with this product (now
suite.)
ADTS/CS was the original Code/400 & VaRPG
It was renamed WebSphere Development Tools (WDT/400).  That's what you have
(me, too.) V4R5M1.
This product is now bundled with WebSphere Application Studio.   THAT
contains not only WDT, but the iSeries compilers, PDM, SEU, WebFacing and (I
think) WebSphere Application Server.  When you order OS400 V5R1, you get to
order a free copy of WebSphere Application Studio if you owned a copy of
OS400 V4R5 PDM, compiler, WebSphere APplication Server, etc.

Note that the version of WebSphere Development Tools you have (V4R5) bears
no relationship to the OS400 version.  It will edit stuff down on an OS400
V4R1 machine.  The same is true of the new bundle: Some genuis called it
V5R1, but only the iSeries stuff is for OS400 V5R1 (the compilers, PDM,
etc.)  Code/400 and VaRPG (the bits you load on your PC) will run on other
releases of OS400.

Let me try again.  After reading that I confused myself!

The new bundle contains PC bits and iSeries bits.  The whole thing is called
V5R1.  The bits that go on your PC do NOT require OS/400 V5R1, but the bits
that go on your iSeries does.
