Re: IBM DROPS SUPPORT FOR RPGII COMPILER

Whomever started the post should have labelled it
RPG II
I have not read any formal announcement, but at Common the
general consensus was the PRPQ would be "in the thousands.."
I think RPG38 (if not already gone) is surely not continueing.
The alternative to the PRPQ is to keep a development box at
an older release, but that only buys you a little more time.

Please tell me you meant to put a smiley emoticon at the end of that.

If not, fear not (unless you're some poor bugger running rpg36).  V5R4 is
the last release to support the rpg36 compiler.  You can still run the
stuff but if you want to compile the crud on a newer os you will have to
back the semi and dump out the money for the PRPQ to get the rpg36
compiler.

their an upgrade path to VB?

Better not.  You'll come in on Monday to learn that you are switching to

Oracle or Windows.

Someone other than me needs to fret about something this weekend. :O
