Re: Really? There's still people using the QDLS file system on IBM i 7.3?

I have many customers that use it, yes. But, I also have deprecated it's
use in any programs that touch in with my software. And I always tell them
to change it to the IFS when I hear of it.

It was "easy" to map a drive to QDLS. And, once things work.. why change?

I could maybe see this if they were using some crappy vendor package which
insisted on using QDLS because the vendor won't spend time upgrading (like
changing from CPYTOPCD to CPYTOIMPF).

But for general "let's use IBM i to do file serving" and still use QDLS?
To me that's like dropping a turd sandwich in the user's mouth because of
the 8.3 file naming alone. All the users will be thinking "that crappy
AS400 only supports the old 8.3 file naming". Just remap it and it over
with!
