Frank,

There is a lot of functionality in WDSC, it is not just an RPG editor!

SI08018 is the Remote Agent Controller for Websphere. Unless your doing Java
Web development on your 400 then you don't need it. Ive never been able to
get it to work anyway!

Cheers
Colin.W

Well,
I got  WDSCi 5.1,  (story best left untold)  and found I needed to be on Win
2000. I upgraded my PC and had W2000 installed.

Took most of a day to install WDSCi.  I transferred the DVDs to our PC file
network server. I tried to click on a single install process. I found I
needed to install WSSD first then WDSC, then install Code then found a PTF
was missing. How can a PTF be missing, we just had IBM put on the latest
cumes, why is not WDSCi SI08018 ptf part of the cume.

I looked at downloading the PTFs.  There are more than 10 separate  zip
files each with specific install instructions. Whatever happened to the
concept of cume PTFs. After downloading the zips, I decided that I will let
WDSC download the PTFs from the net.

The good news,  everything worked without crashing, except I got the
occasional 'already in use' error that I ignored

My suggestion,  I would like as an option to be able to order on CD or DVD
the LATEST version  with ALL fixes applied, sure would save some time.

6 hours later my boss asks what  we got for this effort.  We can edit our
source files I say. He looks at me and walks away.

Are all Java applications this big.  Is WDSCi 'just an editor'.  I found
this exercise as daunting as when I first installed LINUX.  I try to be
optimistic and see the positives but I find it hard to see me developing
live production applications in Java when just the editor takes up 1G of
disk.

Soon I will be able to use the editor, just a few more upgrade checks and a
PTF to burn and install hmmmm.

Thanks Vern and everyone for the help.
Midrange.com is a magic place.
I will regroup and obtain WDSC 5.1
It is a very difficult process for me to get this version as
we have some Software maintenance but I am not sure what.
When we upgraded to V5R2 we were given WDSC 4.0,this was about a year ago.
For something touted as the bees knees why is it all so very hard, but maybe
I have been spoilt all these years on S38s and AS400s and finally must face
the 'real world' of computing.
