Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 4, Issue 636

Hi Bill,

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my previous post:
Please contact official IBM support so that they can provide you with test
PTFs to fix the problem (If you mention APAR SE27049, that should help find
the PTF numbers quickly).
Test PTFs cannot be provided via the mailing list.

thanks,

I spoke with Linoma about this because I had the same problem with their
conversion tool and they told me that the compiler no longer ignores
cc1-5 in SQLRPG programs.  They also told me that the compiler team was
not going to change that stance.  I think  Linoma is working on a fix to
accommodate that.  This is an IBM problem regardless of which "Team" is
responsible.  I have enough of a problem trying to convince our upper
management that IBM is still a good solution without having to explain
that we can't get an answer because of an internal communication
breakdown within IBM.

My take on this is FIX IT.  I don't care if it comes from the compiler
team or the WDSc team.  You folks in Toronto are closer to Rochester
than we are in Sanford, NC.  You also have internal phone numbers that
are not available to us.  I would think that, if IBM is serious about
remaining a player they would do what it takes to make things work,
maybe I am wrong and IBM is not serious.
