Re: S36EE question

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At one point, there was the AS/400 migration aid that "helped"
migrate and point out any problems that the S/36EE might not
handle. WSU was eliminated and there was some obscure comm
commands but 95% of the S/36 stuff would go right over.
DFU would even convert if you had the DFU source.

I believe the aid was dropped back "about" V5R2....

You can certainly do it using "manual" methods. If you don't
have a S/36 background, that will make it harder.

The S/36EE has a few "odd" features that require a little
screwing around with, but not enough to make you crazy.

The great part is the ability to convert to native while
you are running the S/36 stuff.

You can have externally described files and the S/36 programs
will use them just fine. You can use native DDS with screens,
and mix OCL/CLP together. You can do all sorts of things to
make the migration a wee bit easier.

The newer tape drives "might" be a problem with older media.

Shoot me a private note with any questions.
