Re: ADTS V6R1 - No SEU updates?

Be careful defining the term "Stabilized, Jon. George specifically called WDSC "stabilized", and by that he meant no changes whatsoever other than bug fixes. So I wouldn't bandy about the buzzwords too much, I'd instead stick with the facts: SEU will get V6R1 support, WDSC will not.

And really, it's not a mixed message. WDSC is done. Get over it. It was a bad decision to give all that functionality away for free and IBM is fixing it, painful as it is to everyone. Use WDSC just the same way you would use CODE: it's a legacy tool with no future.

The message every person on this list should be sending to IBM, and every advocate of the platform should be pushing to their constituents, is that IBM needs to provide a simple licensing replacement from ADTS to RDi. Rather than worry about what is effectively the past (i.e., WDSC), everybody here should send emails to George and Sam.

Sounds like the SEU folks will get syntax errors if they use V6R1
goodies. Probably won't help the adoption of V6 features any.

Nope - they will be updating the syntax checker in SEU.

The term "stabilized" means no enhancements - in this case this is considered a fix not an enhancement.

However, they are _not_ planning to make a similar update for WDSC - boo - hiss. Talk about sending mixed messages! Stay in the past with SEU and get the latest update - use WDSC and can't get funding to RDi yet - tough luck.
