RE: IBM (or other) web site listing why you should use WDSCi

Rich:

You could also start by letting them know that PDM, SEU, SDA, RLU will
no longer be enhanced by IBM, whereas WDSc/LPEX is constantly being
enhanced.  When your company bought their last iSeries and paid for
maintenance, they paid to have static green-screen tools and dynamic
client-based tools.  So, their maintenance fees are already paying for
WDSc enhancements.

While David is correct about green-screen being able to produce the same
quality of code, realize that what you have now is all you will ever
have as far as green-screen is concerned...and although IBM hasn't (to
my knowledge) announced that those tools are going away any time soon, I
have to believe that come V7 or V8 the possibility exists.

Your company has already paid for both sets of tools, but one has more
functionality and that base keeps growing.  Do the math.
