Re: WDSCi shop moving to IBM i 6.1

WDSCi 7.0 runs against 6.1 just as well as it runs against V5R4. I haven't
used any of the 6.1 compiler enhancements, so I'm not quite sure what to
expect there. I know it won't prompt them, just not sure what the verifiers
and syntax checkers will make of them.

I don't know how your ADTS entitlements compare to your actual requirements,
but that's also something your management needs to look at. Maybe if you
have extra ADTS licenses, you can reduce your RDP costs through the upgrade
option, if that's available to you. I tried to work that angle, but it
didn't pan out here.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] WDSCi shop moving to IBM i 6.1

Word from system admin is that we will soon be on i 6.1. I am using
WDSC V 7.0.0.8 (7.0.0.20090225_1508) and I have concerns that our WDSC
development environment may soon need to go RDi/RDP. I understand that
WDSC does not "grow" with post-v5r4 advances to RPG.

First question: How successful is running WDSC in the IBM i 6.1
environment?
