Re: 170 Box and virtual devices

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

M36 is an object; S36 is an environment.

M36 contains pretty much what was on the System/36 from which it was 
migrated: Libraries, data files (which are not in libraries on the /36), 
configuration, etc.  It is object-compatible with the /36 program 
objects; no re-compile is necessary.  The M36 has no real concept of the 
library list or CL.  It was really a quick and dirty way to get /36 
customers to the AS/400.

S36 is simply an environment. The QS36F library is required and programs 
(RPG II or COBOL, usually) have to be re-compiled to i5 objects.  It may 
use the library list, can run CL commands interspersed within OCL (which 
is a pretty neat advantage).


I think the M36 has been deprecated by IBM, but the S36 is alive and well.
