Re: Is RPG dying

I think 6.1 had a lot of changes, so bad that some programs from previous release don't work. But from 6.1 to 7.1 there are litle changes. So, unless you come from someting before 6.1 you wont find to many changes.

Chuck,

Yeah, I know, but I'm surprised just HOW LITTLE has been written up on the
new functionality in 7.1 or else I've really missed it - which could be the
issue.

From all I've seen and heard, 7.1 appears to be a hardware release and yet
another thing to force people to pay more services fees to software vendors
to get new objects for 7.1 that don't migrate from 6.x... Remember when
that wasn't a problem???

Is there a list of NEW features added to the O/S, CL, RPG, etc with
v7R1?

The 7.1 overview that I saw from News/400 was good but was very heavy
on hardware and light on new programming and software features....



One place to look is the InfoCenter for a release. In many subcategories, and in the main "IBM i 7.1" sections there are "What's new" topics. Visit the IBM i 7.1 InfoCenter and either expand any particular section [such as "programming"] and review the "What's new" topic within, or just type in "what's new" in the "Search:" area and review the various results returned in that search.
