learning WDSCi is *not* wasted money.  RDi works exactly the same for most 
(if not all) similar tasks (lpex editor, syntax checking and so forth) so 
that knowledge is still moving toward the end-goal.  WDSCi is not really 
"end of life" until it's no longer supported IMO.  WDSCi is supported 
until April 2010 according to George Farr

How about the fact that WDSCi is at end of life, there will be no 
additional enhancements to it, none of the new addons to RDi like EGL or 
Concert will work with WDSCi, IBM will stop supporting it at some time and 
any time spent on learning more about WDSCi will be wasted money.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] justifying RDi when WDSCi 'still works'
The few of us who use WDSCi here are trying to convince management that we 
should purchase a few licenses for RDi now that we've gone to V6R1.  The 
pushback we're getting is that WDSCi still works fine, so we need to 
justify 
spending the money.  Has anyone else successfully done this, and if so, 
what 
approach did you use?
Thanks!
