>>"We still use SEU exclusively for program development on the AS/400. Personally I have no problem at all with it."<< I'm not saying that there is a "problem" with SEU, simply that you could be doing a better, faster job with other tools. Few people still use DOS or an S/32 because there are better tools, Win95 (well ....) and of course the AS/400! Just a few of the things that CODE/400 (for example) can do that SEU can't (or can't easily). - Multiple windows (one in the current C spec area, one in the I or D specs, one in my subroutines, etc. etc.) - move from one to another simply - even view the data definitions while editing the calcs. - Use bookmarks in source to quickly move from place to place - Colour coded display so that you can tell fields apart even when they touch - A Tab key that knows where the fields are! - A help key that shows the relevant portion of the manual - View only lines that reference a specific field - Completely verify a program (i.e. a full compiler type check, not just syntax) in seconds _before_ wasting time submitting (and waiting for) a batch compile just to find that you mis-spelled a field name!! - find errors in the source simply by clicking on the error line - full point and click interactive debugger with ability to watch any number of variables, etc. etc. These are just a few of the features, so why on earth would I want to use SEU?
