V5R1 / SNDDST

I hope I'm not the only one who's confused, not by the (lamentable)
disappearance of OV/400 from V5R1, but about which related bits of base
OS/400 are going as well. Does anyone know the answers to this?

There are several CL commands which were not shipped as part of OV/400 but
in base OS/400 and which, as I understand, were 'under threat', e.g.
MRGDOC, PRTDOC. I have been using these on boxes without OV/400 installed
for years, creating simple 'shell documents' on boxes with OV/400 installed
and then restoring them to the target machines.

Assuming that MRGDOC/PRTDOC will disappear, and knowing that editing RFT
documents with embedded data field instructions will be impossible anyway
on V5R1, I have just, instead, been setting up some automatic SMTP emailing
from OS/400 for a customer using some programming to produce appropriately
formatted output, then SNDDST with the *FILE option, which works
beautifully on V4R5. Both the customer and I, however, have lingering doubt
that even this SNDDST functionality will be supported on V5R1. I have some
V5R1 beta code waiting for a test when someone else has finished with my
test box, but if anyone can shed any light in the meantime I would be very
grateful.
