Hi Mark,

If you go to:
http://www-912.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.NSF/
$$v5r1?OpenView&Start=1&Count=30&Expand=20#20
You will see the list of APARs opened against the V5R1 version of CODE.
I found 33 APARs marked as UR1, which means that the problem reported is
fixed in a future release.  For CODE, most of these are fixed in V4, unless
otherwise noted.

I also checked V4 APARs and I found that there were 8 fixes reported in V4
(but would also have applied to V5R1) which shipped in various service
packs of V4 and the fix patch that can be downloaded from the support web
page (link below)

It is also important to note that V4 Sp2 co-incides with the GA of V5R2M0
OS/400, and contains the V5R2M0 version of the verifier for ILE RPG and all
the V5R2M0 documentation for the ILE RPG language.

thanks,

I don't think such a list is available.  Be sure you are on the latest
service pack for V5R1 and you'll be in good shape.

As Edmund said, WDSC 4.0 is basically the "web" release.  The native
editor,
LPEX has very little support for RPG, etc.  So the lab includes Code in
with
WDSC 4.0.  There have been some Code fixes in 4.0, but I don't think there
are that many.  There are more Code fixes due in V5.0.  I wonder how long
IBM will continue to update and support the classic tools, as LPEX and RSE
become more mature?

The bottom line is that if you are a Code-only user, V4.0 has little to
offer, but V5.0 might!
