Re: RDi Hub - new discovery for me

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried the RFE link - nice - it takes us to the sort of main page for 
that, where it lists RFEs by Brand and Product. That seems fine, it 
includes the COBOL and C/C++ Development Tools.

I was curious about submitting, and it did fill in everything except the 
component. Not a big deal, but for RDi, we still need to select the 
RPG/COBOL Development Tools.

Thanks again!
Vern
