RE: question on survey question

[Tom Daly <Tdaly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Who said anything about a PTF?  The RPG language is what changes.  Unless
there is some new OS specific API or object formats have changed or
something, a new RPG language feature still boils down to the same set of MI
instructions.  When the %DIV BIF was added to RPG (V4R4?) was division
something new?  No - just a new source language construct that turns into
the same old division operation in MI.  But go ahead and try to compile a
pgm with %DIV or %REM to V4R3 and see what happens.
