Hi Trevor
The quoted line here from your recent post raised a question that may
help others here. What are the things you do on IBM i that are different
from AS/400? I believe I can think of a few things - was there Java on
AS/400? I forget the timing. There certainly was not PHP as we know it now.
So a few examples are appreciated.
As you also mentioned, there is much confusion. Much is made about
backwards compatibility - both a boon and a curse, perhaps. We have
source that was written several years ago - there's no reason to change
it, there's no ROI on making changes just to make changes to working
code. This code was likely written on an AS/400 - it has run on System i
and on iSeries and it now does in i5/OS on POWER. We also do new things
as they are available and as our release level rises.
Not sure where I'm rambling to! This IS Tuxman, after all, and all he
needs is to clean up good! But I look forward to your reply.
