Re: IBM Rational Developer for System i V7.1

No, it's not just about running the software. It's about having the
ability to make custom changes to the vendor supplied programs, if
necessary. I do have the code and the support.

Yes, I could convert all of the JDE source code to ILE, make any
necessary changes to get them to run, but then I'd have to do that every
time I apply an upgrade from them.

Since I'm not really willing to do that, then I guess I'm stuck until
JDE finally decides to change all of their base code to ILE.

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.

I understand the original question was about maintaining the JDE
software,
but Joe answered that part already.
