Steve -

Given that the canceled IBM Future Systems project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Future_Systems_project eventually produced the development by Rochester of the System/38, I completely agree.

I am told that APIs did not start to arrive on the system until the AS400.
That was certainly a big advance. And the underlying system security model
has certainly been shored up tremdously. But still, half of the code I
see out in the wild would run on a S/38.

Just think IBM should include the S/38 in the celebration. <<<<

Steve,

I get the idea that you think that nothing that IBM has added to IBM i
(and it's predecessors) in that 25 years has had any significance because
you want IBM to address your current wish of the day. And, if IBM
addresses that then it would no longer be anything of any significance
because you would then have a new wish of the day, and that if IBM doesn't
address it must be because IBM is sounding the death knell of IBM i (if
not the entire free world).

the 25 year mark seems to send the S/38 down the memory hole. as Steve

"... Integration meant bringing the S/36 and S/38 together, integrating
them, combining their customer communities, and allowing applications from
both heritages to move to an advanced, powerful system. ..."
Meaning, the as400 was the s/38 with an added s/36 environment. And
being
that S/36 RPG has all been ported to RPG400 the s/38 environment did not
add any features of lasting value to the system. I know we have had this
discussion before, but each release of the S/38 brought tremendous
features. OPNQRYF was big in the day. Journaling. Not sure if IBM started
providing APIs on S/38 releases. I know they predated ILE because I
remember limiting myself to APIs that could be called from OPM code. As a
S/38 programmer I did not see the AS400 as anything but a continuation of
the excellent releases IBM had been putting out for the 38.

If IBM wants to release something neat at Common they could announce
Javascript as an ILE language.
