Re: question about OS/400 and SSP

[email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (James W Kilgore)]

Richard,

First I would like to say that there is no difference between running
SSP and a S/36 environment.  At least not that I've ever encountered,
other than speed.

The S/36 machine can access OS/400 machine files via DDM.  Using DDM,
IMO, makes the speed issue moot.

BTW, the S/36 environment has no problem with native files.  We never
even had to touch the OCL.  It just worked.  Now there may be some
obscure things in your OCL that might bite you, but we tried not to get
too cute.

The only reason I can think of for -not- running in a S/36 environment
is that you do not have all of the source necessary to do a recompile.

You may want to look at Redbooks: GG24-3304-xx "Converting System/36
Environment Applications to Native AS/400" and GG24-3250-xx "System/36
to AS/400 Application Migration" for any gotchas.
