The end of support is exactly why this solution is being put into place. Then windows support is new and needs to have the same sort of automation that was available for the old OS/2 functionality.

OS/2 has Rexx native, windows does not. So a change begins, and the two databases must be kept in sync until the OS/2 is gone.

Oh, and that is an end of SALES support. You won't be able to buy new copies of OS/2 after that. IBM typically supports products for three to seven years after dropping sales.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
