[CLOSED]Why is DB2 Query Manager required?

[gnl1959]

When I use the autocode function to attempt to create a file maintenance program, it fails to create and immediately on my System i operators console there appears the message below which is basically telling me I don't have a licence for DB2 Query Manager and SQL Devkit:

Message . . . . : Grace period expired. Requesting user not added.
Cause . . . . . : You received this message for one of the following
reasons:
-- A request was made to add a user, but the grace period has expired and the requesting user was not added. Any users exceeding the usage limit of 0 have been released for product 5722ST1, license term V5R4M0, feature 5050. Users are released, starting with the most recently added user, until the number of uses no longer exceeds the usage limit.

Is there a way around this or do I have to buy this product to make Valence autocode work?

Thanks

Yes, I believe you need 5722ST1 in order to use embedded SQL in your RPG. Definitely a tool worth investing in!

I just realized from looking at this thread that we need to include 5722-ST1 in the system requirements for using AutoCode and if you want to recompile most of the core Valence programs. Embedded SQL is used extensively throughout Valence. The vast majority of systems have 5722-ST1 so we never thought to include it as a requirement until now.

Thanks for the quick response. Somehow I got away without having to buy it all these years. I was hoping for some other workaround.
