just a reminder that V5r4 will be last release where Websphere Development
toolkit will contain RPGII compiler. Later releases the compiler
will be available in a PRPQ for some undetermined price (at common they said
and i quote "thousands"). Even without the PRPQ, the S36ee still works -
and you could keep an old server just to compile with.
Also, the S36 Migration tools no longer ship in the OS, so taking an AS36 to
a new i5 (system i) is becoming more of a hassle. I work with a software 
company
that has a handful of customers on AS436 or 236's. Every year a few more 
migrate.
