No, I have not yet, but have heard similar statements about DB2 V12, and other products, mainframe and non mainframe. I'm pretty sure your z/O rumours belong to the same category: It's just the currenty hype about changing from delivering new releases very so often to delivering SPEs (small programming enhancements) every opther dy. They call it agile programming; they are doing Sprints, etc, etc. Thanks a lot Marketing guys and girls. Great job done with confusing people, again (no offence intended). Instead of putting enphasis on the fact that the delivery frequency changes, they're putting enphasis this will be the last version (of that is delivered as a big package). When hearing this people are getting so anxious about the "will be the last version" that they immediately stop listening/reading before the sentence has ended. The part in parenthesis is not headr/read). -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
