RE: V4R4 level limitations.

Al,

Thanks for your reply.

A couple of questions though. If I recompile RPG IV on a RISC machine to
V3R2, does this generate CISC code? Where would I find information on
"reencapsulating"?

IBM cannot support everything forever.  I think that this is reasonable, as
opposed to the brain-dead stuff they are doing with Office Vision.  (The
truth be known, I am not as upset about the withdrawal of OV/400 support,
but given how heavily IBM pushed this clearly inferior product, and now
they have the audacity to withdraw it.)


>Why isn't V3R7 supported? Will this be supported in the future?

No.  If you really want to get something back to V3R7 or V4R1, compile/save
it at V3R2, and then you will have to reencapsulate it.
