We like the lease strategy because it drives the justification process to
keep on a 3 year upgrade cycle. Accounting has their own reasons for
preferring to lease the big stuff, but from our IT perspective, this is a
nice side effect.

When you finally can spring for it, keep this in mind
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/hardware/is4ha/
Also, I'd consider leasing. Makes it a lot easier to upgrade every x
years. And going to the management and saying
"We want to get a newer machine, which will give us better performance and
allow us to do project xyz because it has this new piece of hardware, and
supports this newer software. Cost will be a lease increase of a few
bucks a month which may be offset by reduced maintenance."
is a lot easier to swallow than that initial purchase price.
A lot of management loves leasing for other accounting reasons. For some
silly reason they sold our computer building to a leasing company and
signed a long term lease on it. Perhaps it's a tax issue, or your Return
On Assets (ROA) looks better if you get a building off of your list of
assets. Maybe they don't even have to worry about depreciation schedules?

Rats. That's what I thought would probably happen. Well, maybe we can
spring for a new DRP machine in the next fiscal year (April 2007!).
Thanks for the responses, all.
Brian.

The only way to make the progam backward compatible is to compile with
TGTRLS(V5R3). Unfortunatly, this will have the effect of not letting
you use any features not supported by the V5R3 compiler .... including
Free Format SQL.

Hi All,
Within the next month we will be taking delivery of a brand new 520E to
replace our aging 720 box. I just finished reading an article on IT
Jungle that v5r4 will now allow SQL statements in free-form (about
time!).
Now the question - our old 720 will be demoted to a DRP box. I know
that V5R3 will be the highest version of the O/S I can put on this box.
My question is if we put V5R4 on the 520 and V5R3 on the 720, will
compiled programs still work on V5R3? I'd like to move the code over to
the free form SQL, but I will not do it at the cost of having the
programs fail on the DRP machine if the time comes that we need to use
it. I assume I will not be able to modify code on the 720 box if we
move to v5r4, but is that the only limitation?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Brian.
