RE: IBM DROPS SUPPORT FOR RPGII COMPILER

Ah yes... the funniest jokes are, of course, the ones you have to explain...
Whoever started this one should definitely go on the road.  Quickly.

The original post was a joke following on from another thread where a
misunderstanding took place and a list member got the impression that i5/OS
support was being dropped - for the sake of clarity it isn't.

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.
