RE: TAA Productivity Tools

You're correct in the assumption of having to purchase the tool set.  Which
was originally not entirely "OWNED" by IBM.  Jim Sloan has taken the
responsibility of support and distribution, (http://www.taatool.com), you'll
find more info there.

You could have saved the tools from your old system and restored them to
your new. Some of them don't make to conversion, (operate) correctly on the
RISC boxes.

Subject: TAA Productivity Tools


Our shop used the DUPSPLF command which was part of  IBM's QUSRTOOL library.
Approximately, 6 months ago we upgraded to a RISC box running OS/400 release
V4R3 which I think disabled our use of this command.  My understanding is
that I must now purchase the TAA Productivity Tools package in order to
restore this functionality to our system.  Can anyone out there shed a
little more light on the subject.

In order to purchase this package I must cost justify this with my boss.  I
have downloaded a list of the tools in the package off the TAATOOL website
and must admit that I was quite impressed with the number of tools
available.  It would also be great to here from people using the tools a
ball park percentage of number of tools used or if they recommend purchasing
the package.
