Re: AS/400 vs. IBM i

CPF is from around 1980 - Control Program Facility, IIRC - on the System 38.

But that seems of no importance to me - as someone else replied, would anyone change everything on the system for this, besides, it has never been attached to either AS/400 or any other system name, so far as I can tell.

Cheers
Vern

Reasonably new machine, V7R3, in IBM's own words:

That's to preserve backwards compatibility... something that IBM i is
fantastic at.

You wouldn't want to have to refactor all your code just to account
for a class name change in java code (which other products sometimes
do require).

And the CPF prefix for messages is from when?
