Re: Prototypes depending of TR ( overload)

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Niels

I'm sure you know what I'm going to say and ask here, but for the 
benefit of the archive, right?

Isn't the problem that the PTFs for RPG and other things are not part of 
the TR PTF number? There are hardware and firmware updates tied to the 
TR PTF, not for RPG or Db2, as I understand it. The key phrase is 
"Enhancements timed with Technology Refresh 1" on 
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1164034

That page has a link - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1106409 - 
to the RPG Cafe article - which gives some details.

But none of that helps, right? Can we condition a define on a PTF number?

I'm just asking lots of questions - apologies that it doesn't give a 
solution!
