RE: S36 Environment -- MIDRANGE-L

Trust me, S/36 environment is still available for IBM i 7.4
Even the RPG36 compiler is still available for IBM i 7.4.
Decades ago IBM announced that release x would no longer have the RPG36 compiler and all sorts of riots broke out. They rescinded that announcement.

From the following: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_74/rzahc/rzahcswsmedialabel.htm
