George,
Awesome! Good to hear!
We ran into some old Vendor Software that could not handle IBM i 7.2, but thanks to Technology refreshes, I can use Punch-Card-Freedom!! No more column Restrictions. For new code any. And I convert code when doing updates! I cheat and using the Linoma Toolbox Plug-in for RDI! Well Worth! If you do NOT have it, GET IT!!!
If you have a good system Admin, they might be able to apply some technology refreshes without a IPL. Some require an IPL. I have been using Punch-Card-Freedom, a.k.a. **free, since February 2014. Almost 3-years! Only RDI allows you to use **free!
We do not yet have a power-8, still stuck on Power-7 at the moment.
In mid-December, we will finally have IBM i 7.2 on Production! Some great updates for SQL in that Release! You can use SQL to check for Record-Locks, and many other things!
Removed that old junk vendor code that could not handle IBM I 7.2. And also removed some old vendor software that was using "Flat-Files" too! About Time!!!!
IBM keep making it vastly superior to the old Junk Hardware AS400, discontinue over 17-years ago!
Go IBM i!!!!! And of course RDI!!! Vastly improved over the old discontinued WDSC... <grin>

Ken--
Well, no we just installed a new Power814 but we couldn't make the jump to light speed because of vendor software. We did get our v7r1 box up on some PTFs but did not consider the TR updates. Not exactly sure what the vendor requires to remain compatible with their software. The upgrade of their software is planned in the next year.
But with solid state drives we can IPL in about 20 minutes and SQL statements will run almost before you finish typing them in, J/K.

George,
Why not free yourself from 19th Century Punch-Card format. The century in which they were invented. The old punch-card format was widely used in the 20th Century for 60-years...
**free
ctl-opt ActGrp(*CALLER)
DftActGrp(*NO)
Options(*SrcStmt:*NoDebugIO:*ShowCpy:*ExpDDS)
;
Start coding in "Punch-Card-Freedom", and start in column-one, and stop using punch-card methodology! Unless you are stuck on a discontinued AS400 hardware from 17-years ago. And the old OS400 5.4 is no longer supported!
PS. I am assume you might have the Technology Refresh to free yourself from Punch-Card Tyranny!

Subject: [WDSCI-L] H Control Specifications Shows Error
Hello All -
I attempted to adjust the existing H-Control Specifications and now I can't undo enough to get rid of the yellow triangle. And of course as I just learned today with the line error I don't get an Outline.
Here is the code:
H ACTGRP(*CALLER) DFTACTGRP(*NO)
H OPTION(*SRCSTMT:*NODEBUGIO:*SHOWCPY:*EXPDDS)
And hovering over the error shows: "(" expected instead of this input
