Re: Wusu?

In addition to the problems with converting the WSU program(s) over to a
supported language (which means you'll need to understand its internal
workstation cycle, which is somewhat like the RPG cycle but different)
you'll also need to convert the data.  WSU is driven with a transaction
file that contains multi-format record files, which is the one form of S/36
file data that DB2/400 never managed to support properly...

the design of WSU back in System/34 days, but I also smile and look at the
subject line and think how nice it is to see that people still remember how
to pronounce the old acronym!)

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but was your response to
the client ethical?

Work Station Utility was a program on the S/36 to generate
a quasi RPG program.  The code looked weird.  Specs were
all mixed around.  You could get an app up pretty quickly
though.  The program generated was WSU though, not RPG.
Best be doing some research on that.  You might have to do
a rewrite to get it to the 400.  Gotta get going, or I'd
point you to some RTM links.  Best of luck!

At a potential new client, they mentioned that in addition to applications
on the AS/400, they have a little itty bitty app on the S/36, and that they
use WSU. I said, no problem, I've heard of that, but now, What the heck
was/is WSU?
