  • V5R3 CL Enhancements on V5R2

    December 1, 2004 Hey Ted

    I have heard that the V5R3 CL compiler enhancements would be moved to OS/400 V5R2. I have searched V5R2 PTF cover letters for more information, but without success. Do you have a PTF number for the V5R3 CL enhancements in V5R2?

    –Bob

    You can use the V5R3 compiler enhancements under V5R2, but you can’t compile them under V5R2. I checked with Guy Vig of IBM, who spoke about the V5R3 compiler enhancements at the recent COMMON conference. Here’s his reply.

    There is a zero percent probability that IBM will ship updates to any pre-V5R3 release of the CL compiler to allow programs using the new feature to compile on a pre-V5R3 iSeries system. I hope Bob didn’t get confused about this at my COMMON presentation. I try to make it clear that we will allow the customer to compile on V5R3 using the new CL enhancements (except multiple files) and specify TGTRLS(*PRV) or TGTRLS(V5R2M0), and take that program back to a V5R2 system, but we do not support using any of the new CL compiler enhancements and compiling on a V5R2 system. The whole idea was to get CL application developers that support multiple systems that are a mix of V5R2 and V5R3 systems (or partitions) to start using the new compiler features (e.g., integer variables, loops, longer character variables) sooner than later.


    I wrote about the V5R3 CL compiler enhancements for this newsletter in two articles.

    Embrace VS Code for IBM i Development

    The IBM i development landscape is evolving with modern tools that enhance efficiency and collaboration. Ready to make the move to VS Code for IBM i?

    Watch this webinar where we showcase how VS Code can serve as a powerful editor for native IBM i code and explore the essential extensions that make it possible.

    In this session, you’ll discover:

    • How ARCAD’s integration with VS Code provides deep metadata insights, allowing developers to assess the impact of their changes upfront.
    • The role of Git in enabling seamless collaboration between developers using tools like SEU, RDi, and VS Code.
    • Powerful extensions for code quality, security, impact analysis, smart build, and automated RPG conversion to Free Form.
    • How non-IBM i developers can now contribute to IBM i projects without prior knowledge of its specifics, while ensuring full control over their changes.

    The future of IBM i development is here. Let ARCAD be your guide!
