AIX is the version of Unix that runs on IBM POWER hardware. AIX COBOL is the
COBOL compiler for that operating system. It doesn't run on the IBM i operating
system. If you're 'pushed' to AIX for some reason you may be 'pushed' to the
AIX COBOL compiler, but you won't be 'pushed' to it while you're running IBM i.
Clear?

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDP 8.5 Announced

So I am confused, as a small company not planning on going away from COBOL
anytime soon, are we going to get pushed to this AIX COBOL at some point?
Did IBM need to create an AIX COBOL for marketing purposes? Why did AIX
COBOL have to be created to get COBOL enhancements or COBOL RDP
enhancements? As a younger programmer just trying to understand IBM's
direction with COBOL.
