I don't think those announcements are all that new. The last one (recap #3) is from around the time V5R1 came out.

It's a mature product - it works, it has no problems hardly at all. It got the ability to handle Java calls when it needed to. It gets PTFs. What's the problem here?

Yeah, it's not highly visible - might be its worst problem. But it's going away about as fast as RPG and COBOL have. Under the same predicitions.

As to observation - look at the site for ND on i that IBM has. Look at the announcements - I just glanced at them and do not have dates and timeframes. But stuff IS happening with it. One developer on it? OK - it doesn't need more if it's basically working.

OK - back to my vacation!

That was a pretty bold statement about Net.Data being on its way out -

what/who is your source for that?

Observation.

even now - that it is not going anywhere soon.

Not to play on your words, but that is exactly my point. It is going
nowhere. When is the next release coming out? What features are going to
be in it?

Net.Data on i5/OS - yes, there is a whole site dedicated to this even now -
that it is not going anywhere soon.
