Re: She (SDA/RLU 7.6) loves me she loves me not

Gad, if you continue to hear, especially, Scott Forstie's comments, I 
think it is as much as we need - SEU, for example, was sunsetted at V6R1 
- that means it is still there but not supported and will have no 
updates, IIRC. And there is a list of things that are being removed - 
often for reasons of the need to make them current for security reasons. 
40 year old products were not written to handle current security 
attacks, so IBM asked various groups, such as CAAC and LUG, their 
thoughts on should things be kept. Recently here there was a thread were 
I mentioned GDDM - it is gone, I believe, and I believe I indicated that 
I thought it should go away.

Again, listen to Scott's comments. He said Liam got it right - Liam did 
say these might go away someday - don't worry about that, it IS 
possible, but how long ago did 6.1 come out, and we still have SEU? I 
think 6.1 come out in 2008.

I found an article from July 2023 asking should SEU be taken off the 
system - interesting poll results.

If you still use it, and you are trying to do fully-free RPG, you will 
keep having what looks like errors in SEU - that's because IBM are 
adding nothing more to what is supported in languages there
