Just an example: Float in ILE/RPG.  F16 for search next in debug. etc.
etc.  There are many additions/features done in V3R7 which could be
easily implemented in V3R2 or V3R3.

What irritates me is the cavalier attitude IBM takes towards their CISC
customers.  Is there an announcement anywhere (official IBM), which says
CISC is DEAD?  Is there an official announcement that V3R2 is the last
release for CISC? nooooooo.  and then you get a form letter from an
assistant to the GM who simply sends it out to anybody who mentions V3R2
in their note!
