IDB 7.32 for HP-UX 11 - version anomaly?

Still waiting for a response from IBM tech supp on this here in the UK. cf. previous posts, we're upgrading tools from 7.20 to 7.32 on HP-UX 11.11 (aka 11i). All the stuff we use (SQL, I4gl, R4GL) is shown available at version 7.32 HC2 for this platform apart from the 4GL debugger (IDB) which has HC2 for Itanium (aka titanicum) but at HC3 for PA-RISC processors. And, to confuse matters more, there are two different downloads available, one marked for HPUX 11.x, the other for HP-UX 11i - the downloads have different part numbers too (C8535NA and C8537NA). Looking further, C8537NA is the same part number as that for Solaris UC3 release. Any clues anyone? Neil?
Actually scratch a large part of that - looks like HC3 is available for all tools now (weren't there yesterday, I'm certain....maybe IBM have altered PPA in the intervening period) but it still shows versions for 11.x & also 11i although the same AIX/11i anomaly applies for the IDB..... Which should I go for - the 11.x version or the 11i version? (Both are 32 bit machine releases)
Mal, if you are still waiting for a response from support, have you phoned and asked to speak to a manager if you are not happy with the progress of a particular case you have open? malc_p@btinternet.com wrote: > Actually scratch a large part of that - looks like HC3 is available for > all tools now (weren't there yesterday, I'm certain....maybe IBM have > altered PPA in the intervening period) but it still shows versions for > 11.x & also 11i although the same AIX/11i anomaly applies for the > IDB..... > Which should I go for - the 11.x version or the 11i version?

Just spoke with someone on the tools team here and after a few "hold on I'll just check with someone" instances I was told that as I have 11.11 I should use the 11i downloads in preference to the 11.x. My network administrator's going to be p*ssed off, as the 11i version of I4GL is 134Mb as opposed to 94Mb for the 11.x, quite a jump from the 86Mb for 7.20. Oh and another thing .... SQL is only available at 11.x release. Cosistency? What's that, then?
