Jim,

Sorry - I just double checked, I'm still on 9.6.0.1 on this box which is
the one I use nearly all of the time.

My backup machine and mac are on 9.6.0.3 and I thought I'd updated this one
too but apparently not.

So I can only really comment on the stability of 9.6.0.1 which has been
very good for me.

So sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,
Craig

Thanks all! I will pass that all on, and as far as I'm concerned really
good news.

Jim,

Yes, it is stable, but not 100% stable like the IBM i. <sadly>

As usually, we all run into minor quirks, that can cause me to think I am
losing my mind. So things work great in older version, but for some strange
reason, no longer work in the current version. Happens ALL THE TIME!
Normally, minor, but still extremely FRUSTRATING!

Oh well, if you encounter problems; try these recovery procedures, as I
have
to do from time to time...


1.) Try-Restarting RDI. It does fix some problems.
2.) Try clearing the cache and then Restarting
3.) Try restarting RDI with the "-clean" option
4.) Try creating a new workspace.


My biggest problem has always been that the outline view is not 100% trust
worthy. Often I have to clear the cache, and do a manually re-load which
takes time. I find myself going to the compile listing, because I can COUNT
ON THAT EVERYTIME!

What good is an outline view that is not 100% accurate EVERYTIME? Just
saying... <frown> But, still Pretty darn good!

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Last "Stable Release" of RDI

I have customers asking me a simple question I don't really have a good
answer for: "What is the latest release of RDi that is stable enough for
my
development group?



We know IBM works really hard to improve the quality and functionality of
RDi, I'm not questioning those efforts, but it feels like the reality is
falling short of the desire.



I know IBM would like to think the latest is stable but many of my
customers
are not quite convinced to keep up the latest code. They won't ask the
question since it identifies them, so they ask me to, and being me, I have
no problem asking.



I'll follow with a second question that might be more relevant: Are the
issues identified on this list partly due to environment (desktop computer)
or style of use, as opposed to the base code of the product? If so what
are
the recommended minimums as opposed to the published minimums.



A third important question: is this group the leading edge so therefore
more
likely to find issues than most development shops, therefore it's not a
representative sample?



I use RDi almost daily but it's not the focus of my endeavors so I don't
keep up as quickly as you folks, nor do I push it as far as you do.
