RE: TAA Productivity Tools

["Bale, Dan" <DBale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robert, 

If you still have a backup of the TAATOOL source files from the CISC box,
you can restore them on your RISC box and compile the tool you need.

I think the general rule of thumb was, if you were going to use a TAA tool
in a production environment, to copy the source from the TAA source files
into your production source files and compile from there.  Anyone still on
the CISC box should do this for all the TAA tools they're using before they
migrate to a RISC box.

Of course, some tools won't migrate.  Especially those that relied on
CPYSPLF's of printed output.  But you will discover these soon enough.  ;-)

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.
