For example, we are currently on V4R5 and we mainly use SEU, SDA, and RLU to maintain our RPG III codes. When we move to V5R2 can we continue to use these tools or will we have to use different set of tools, such as WebSphere studio?

The feds had an inkling who was stealing credit card IDs from ISPs and banks, so they invited their suspect in Russia to the U.S. to interview for a job. The job was bogus, but the handcuffs were real. FBI agents used the hacking "audition" to get his password and then hacked into a computer network in Russia to download evidence against him. Busted! The 27- year-old Russian wrongdoer will spend three years behind bars and pony up nearly $700,000 in damages.
