Then again, If i have no source, and really if I have no source and no support. I don't need to worry, there is nothing to compile to an OPM program anyway. This discussion is about making the programs, not actually using them, or did I miss something.

No, you're right about folks who have no source at all. I was more talking about folks who are missing bits that keep them from going to ILE entirely, but then again, as you rightly point out, if you don't have source for a couple of program, you won't be using ANY development tools on those programs, will you? <grin> It's just that mixing OPM and ILE is sometimes tricky, is all, but that's an issue to take up with your vendor.

Now, it's VERY unfortunate that a lot of vendors want you to run the SELLKDNY command to upgrade their software, but that's corporate greed (and from what I hear, *some* vendors are getting better about this particular issue). But IBM needs to do this; since we seem not able or willing to make the move ourselves (at least not any more quickly than glaciers), for the platform to move forward, they have to incent people to move with it.
