Re: Rational Developer for System z
Graham: We have installed and are currently testing r/DZ. There are a couple of things that you should know: 1) The mainframe COBOL piece of r/DZ *requires* SCLM to function. If you are one of the four or five shops that actually use SCLM, this won't be a problem. It has been a major pain for us, however. SCLM is convoluted, poorly documented, difficult to set up, and counterintuitve. Not to mention, the ancillary products that make SCLM functional are quite expensive. 2) If you use CICS BMS exclusively, then r/DZ will be fine. If, however (as we do), you use SDF2 to create your CICS screens, you will have problems, because, despite SDF2 being an IBM product, there is absolutely no interface between SDF2 and r/DZ. Each SDF2 map has to be hand-corrected to BMS format before it will be accepted by r/DZ. I leave the associated programming nightmares to your imaginations. That being said, the PC tool itself is slick, and has a lot of nice features for developers. Just don't think that you are getting a bargain, because you are not.

Have been out of the mainframe field (any field that is) for several years now, looking to 'acquire' RDz for a laptop without host connection (at least not for a while) for small development purposes - can't let go:-). Am specifically interested in the COBOL compiler, CICS (whatever it's called these days), CTG, VSAM emulator, DB2 and the current debugger. Not really sure about the IDE or other stuff that seems to go with the package (although David Crayford gave me some clues - thanks - which 10%?). So WDz 7.0 + 1 Version = RDz V7.1 BUT am not sure of the exact differences in the releases (many pages of specs, am working on it). RDz goes for about US$6500. WDz can be had (it seems) via Partnerworld under a thing called IBM Software Access for 1 Year $800 (subsequent years are the same price I think). Not only that, when one looks at the IBM Software Catalog there is tons of heavy stuff out there - all for the one price! Find it hard to understand why RDz isn't there . . or is the single WDz to RDz release upgrade that significant (noting it is a 'release' not a 'version' upgrade). My questions are: a) is there anybody in a similiar position as myself. b) anybody involved in this 'isolated' use of RDz or WDz. I am sorry about the generality of the foregoing but any comments would be appreciated. Many thanks Graham Hobbs P.S. An aside - I followed the FLEX debacle and I know I'm not talking mainframe here, but if the $800 price is true, maybe this goes partway to a pretty cheap solution - or am I off track here (not knowing what FLEX'ers were doing). P.P.S. If RDz (or WDz) comes to pass for me, am really quite scared about installing all that stuff, but will save these questions for later . . -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

The criteria for a source maint system is that it (1) will allow for immediate backout of an update, (2) allow a delta report at the member level to be done and (3) recognize that different members must be compiled/assembled linked with different options. If such a thing exists on the CBT, I've missed it, and if this was discussed on IBM-Main, the archives did not pull up a hit using source maint.

We need some saintly intercession! Ah, what comfort to implore, Pray for us, St. Isidore!
