While I can appreciate your frustration, perhaps I can shed some light on why "officially" WDSc 4.0 SP2 is required to for proper V5R2M0 support. 1) If you install WDT 5.0 and SP5 you will be able to auto-connect to V5R2M0, but STRCODE will not work (as you have experienced). I have already made changes to CODE to the communication layer to generically support any iSeries release, BUT, this code cannot be made available in a service pack and will only be available on our next release. 2) We on the CODE team are not able to provide function for a new iSeries release before it is announced. Therefore if you want the verifiers, language help and compile options to support V5R2M0, you will need WDSc 4.0 SP2. Being able to connect to V5R2M0 can be done before SP2, but proper full support for V5R2M0 comes only with SP2 and later service packs. 3) CODE is generally backwards compatible. The 4.0 release will probably work as far back as V4R1M0, but it is only tested with host releases that are still supported by IBM. 4) WDT was renamed to WDSc. I unfortunately have no more control over that than you do. thanks, Violaine Batthish CODE Project Lead batthish@ca.ibm.com IBMCA(BATTHISH) WDT/400 page: http://www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400 WDT/400 Support : http://www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400/support sublime78ska@attb i.com To: code400-l@midrange.com Sent by: cc: code400-l-admin@m Subject: Re: Code/400 STRCODE question.... idrange.com 12/24/2002 03:00 PM Please respond to code400-l Why does IBM do this. Why has IBM tied a client development tool to the server OS version? Do you have any idea how long it takes to upgrade 50, 100, 200+ developer PC's? Do you think it would happen the same day OS400 is upgraded? WDSc isn't an upgrade - it's a new product! That means training! That means PC upgrades! Not only does it take a long time to do but it adds little value compared to the great expense involved with upgrading PC's, training people, and lost productivity in the meantime. Where I work we're in the middle of rolling out WDTS 5.1. Because it was the released version when we started. The group responsible for the servers are planning to upgrade the servers to V5R2 in the spring. Oops! Do think management will say "Oh. Bummer. Don't worry about it." No, they'll say "Why didn't you know this? You're fired." Jon Paris says SEU and PDM is dead. Not when this happens! SEU will have to be used for such a long time after upgrading to V5R2 that we may never be allowed to go back to an IBM gui editor. This is unacceptable. WDTS 5.1 should run at least on all V5 releases. What is the recommended solution if you have both V5R2 and V5R1 and V4 servers that you support?! Buy a second PC? Dual boot? Toronto. Americans are known to be lousy with geography. I guess it's true because I always thought Toronto was in Canada but apparently Toronto is on the Moon.
