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

ILE and OPM can be mixed much easier in an RPG environment than COBOL. The
problem comes from COBOL's run unit concept. With the run unit, COBOL had
some application elements that ILE addresses. I'm sure integrating the
COBOL run unit with ILE was an interesting challenge to the IBM i
developers.

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...

Really? Speaking as a change control vendor, I find that quite
surprising. MKS Implementer has no such problems.

I find that very hard to believe. Unless you're using some really
ancient pre-ILE version of Turnover.

I am just referring what I have heard. I think the keyword is
"manageable".
