Re: Drag and Drop to 64 bit O/S

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Per the document in my original post IBM says that since there are 
workarounds it is "Not a Defect" and closed my PMR.  I did follow up 
with e Design Change Request but we'll see how far that goes.  You don't 
have to go all the way back to a VM with V5 code but you do need to have 
a 32 bit desktop running to drag things to.  And how many folks know how 
to do that? ? ?
