Re: What features should I demonstrate as being smart in WSDCi?

It's been a while since I worked with TurnOver, but I don't recall any limitation of that sort in the tool itself. Maybe your company set it up in a way that limits it, but that should be fixable. I know mixing OPM and ILE RPG and CL works fine in it, because we were doing that 15 years ago.

You can always use SEP with non-ILE programs by using an ILE stub to call them and setting the SEP on the stub. Not pretty, but often workable.

Keep in mind that SEP only works for ILE programs, not OPM.

I am aware of that.

Personally, I would suggest switching from OPM to ILE if possible ... if only to be able to use SEP debug.

I am pushing for that too. The major problem as I understand it, is that
our Turnover instance used for compiling does not support a mix of OPM
and ILE compilation so for this to be manageable we need to switch the
WHOLE application over to ILE. For now, we do not have time for that
excercise...
