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.
