EPDM offline load calls

Hi Everyone, 

	I've searched the list and found some interesting bits about EPDM
and offline load. I have some questions: 

	1. Is offline load going to be cancelled in favor of System-Link?
There was an entry in this list from 2010 saying it would be dropped
in Release 10 in 2012, but I can't find anything from Infor about
Release 10 to confirm this. 

	2. If that happens, the Release 9 documentation specifies that if
you want to maintain objects that have extensions you will need
Enterprise Integrator. Then question here is, "How big of a deal is
that?" 

	3. Regarding EPDM, in particular: with PDM, I could call offline
load RPG programs directly from an RPG program (no batch job
necessary) because I had the source code and, therefore, knew how to
call the programs to make them work. But with EPDM, there is precious
little source code available. Does anyone know how to call the EPDM
offline load RPG programs directly?  (There was a tip in this list
about submitting the EPDM offline loads to batch, but I want it
inline so that I can continue doing other things when it is done.) 

	Any insight would be appreciated. 

	Thanks 

	James
