RE: Is DB2/400 still the correct terminology fo DB2 on the IBM i?

We just went from V6R1 to V7R2 last weekend (Yeah!).

In the official company email newsletter, it was at least referred to as follows:

PLANNED OUTAGE – AS400 (IBM i) – THIS WEEKEND, SEPT. 19 - 21
AS400 (IBM i) will be unavailable this weekend, Sat., Sept. 19, 5:30 p.m. PST – Mon., Sept. 21, 6 a.m. PST. 

Baby steps.......

Personally, I cringe every time I hear "AS400" or "the 400" due to the
negative inferences people make.

I see that side of the argument. On the other hand, if you say AS/400,

people have an (outdated) idea what your talking about. If you say iSeries
or IBM i, many people don't. I feel compelled to call it an AS/400 to
people that don't have midrange experience simply because they probably
worked some place that had one in a data center.
