Re: Running SQL Workbench console from PASE

They're both different animals, and as a user of PASE and QSH, which POSIX
standards it follows are really not my benchmark. I'd rather frame it like
this:

- Is the environment accessed via Green screen, ssh, or some other
method.
- What C buildchain is there. Should I expect to download a tarball for
some random OSS project and have ./configure && make && make install work?
- What kind of things don't work that a unix guru would expect to
(curses, X11, piping)
- How comfortable will a Linux or FreeBSD person be if you sat them down
in front of it?
- How do I hook into it from RPG/CL/etc
- How do I hook into the native IBM i functionality from it.
- How do I access db2?

Saying what's more standards compliant gets hairy? Are we talking POSIX
compliant? You could be totally posix compliant, but a lot of stuff expects
all the GNU autotools to work. Conversely, its a given the ps is going to
have different arguments on different systems, and ls has a ridiculous
amount of arguments. If you get those "good enough" but not compliant to
some posix standard for them, but ship with bash as the shell, and perl,
python and php, more examples from the internet will work.

Since unix is not controlled by one big mega corporation, like the IBM i
is, its hard to qualify an unix environment for the IBM i in terms of
compliance to a bunch of standards.

Numerous times the one that is less standards based worked with more of

using 'extensions' instead of limitations caused by the standards not

Which one are you saying is "less standards based"? One of my main
points is that it doesn't even make sense to express the differences
between Qshell and PASE in those terms.

You might equally accurately say that neither is standards-based, or
that both are standards-based, or that "true" standards-based examples
are basically nonexistent on the Internet.
