that or DBU, or one of the many other commercial utilities available.

Keep in mind what IBM is saying is they are not going to support it any
longer, meaning zero testing or changes.
They did not say they were removing the product, at least in current
levels. They won't ship it in IBMi next in all likelihood.

The clue phone is ringing on those products. Just answer it.

DFU huh? Unfortunately we still make extensive use of CHGDTA and STRDFU.
Anyone know what IBM has in mind when they say " There are several options
for replacement, including Rational Developer for i, Code for i, and
others. "? Do they mean we have to write new CRUD apps to replace every
DFU *PGM?
