Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] IBM is so confusing!

I don't like the name Rational Developer at all. First of all the developer is me, not the program I use. Development Studion was therefore better in my view. And as for Rational. Surely we're all Rational already. Are there any irrational developers out there? Ok you do come across some rather irrational code now and again.

Also I'd like to know how I should call myself on my CV :
RPG programmer means something completely different; i developer? I don't do iphone nor ipad! IBM i developper? iSeries developper? Here, if I want to be understood, it's AS400 developper.
Am I not really a Rational developer for Power Systems Software? In fact, I just put "developer for IBM i/iSeries/AS400. I hope they don't come up with another name for that black box out back :-)

Last I heard, the official name was "Rational Developer for Power
Systems Software: RPG and COBOL Development Tools" version 8.

Catchy, huh?

What is the

proper name for the "standard" IDE for RPG development?

According to

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/rational/products/rdp/ it

is "Rational Developer for Power Systems Software". Is this correct
and is version 8 the latest? We want to make sure to

inquire about the

right product.
