Re: The Day the Music Dies (was: RE: backup spool file)

I understand.  I wouldn't think people would be writing the local system's 
VRM to a database.  Well, I suppose they could do that if they wanted to 
use a DDM file on the remote system to read the VRM of the local system. 
But maybe adopting the Linux concept would be more standardized.
If it just was easier to handle IFS files in RPG though...

I think I was unclear.  "Are people writing the VRM to the datase?" is my 
question.  The follow up things about a database field not being necessary 

is written from the point of view of how to find out what VRM you are 
running on, not how to write to disk somewhere.  IOW, I'm suggesting what 
IBM could do to tell us the VRM, not what we could do to write it down.

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
