AFAIK the replacement for i still uses the same paradigm as the S/38; a program requests compilation of MI code (with name changes since S/38) and the compiled code is a black box object; you can invoke it but you can't change or even inspect it. Whether it compiles to POWER code or to some interpreted intermediate language is not visible to the application.

IBM Power servers can run any combination of IBMi, AIX and Linux LPARS concurrently." This reduces the IBM "mainframe" product line to just two; Z and Power Servers. ( or is it one in reality ? The magic of software/firmware/epi-code/microcode/macrocode ... ) Are the Power Servers implementing what was the AS400/OS400 functionality as an emulator? Is the Linux used compiled for the Power instruction set? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
