Re: V5R2: Source now allowed in the IFS

Did she tell you what the tools are to use this? Where are the automatic
compile command selection based on extension (oops, mean source member type)?

This is a serious question. I'm not trying to bait anyone. Seems to me we
keep losing functionality. Visual Age C++ for AS/400 was removed, with no
replacement, really - no pre-compile on the client, which is one of the
touted items in CODE but not available for C/C++.

Sure, I guess we're "supposed" to go to CODE or WDSC for our editing.

So, in short, what are IBM's recommendations to REALLY use this _great_ new
idea as well as the "old" way? We need the tools, not the features. IBM
learned this vis-a-vis new WebSphere App Server - lets see it in the
development client, too, please.

Small rant is ended. Go in pieces.

Thanks

can be put into the IFS, but the IFS is SO inefficient a user of space, why
