Subject:        New release of CODE/400 is here!!

Today we are releasing a brand new version of ADTS CS containing 
updated versions of CODE/400 and VisualAge for RPG!
The big enhancements for CODE/400 are TCP/IP support, CODE 
Designer a modern version of DSU, Java and thread support in the 
Debugger.
CODE/400 no longer needs Client Access and SNA to talk with the 
host, it can now simply use the built-in TCP/IP support of 
Windows 95 or Windows NT.  This dramatically simplifies the 
installation and configuration overhead as well as the every day 
use of communications.
CODE Designer is an ultra-modern tool for designing your DDS 
screens and reports.  Those who are familiar with the OS/2 
offering, will recognize the value proposition that DSU brought 
to the table.  In this debut on Windows the user interface has 
been completely modernized with a great deal of focus on 
maximizing the useability.  It is well integrated, highly 
visual, easy to learn and a great depth of function is always 
just a button click away.  The centerpiece of CODE Designer is 
the Design Page where you can layout your screens and reports 
(and maintain existing DSPF and PRTF source) with drag and drop 
ease on a WYSIWYG representation.  See the effects of 
indicators.  Move a PRTF field and have the SKIP and SPACE 
keywords automatically handled for you.  Create fields complete 
with currency and editing simply by typing what you want to see 
and hitting a button.
But CODE Designer is more than just a pretty face.  It has the 
entire DDS compiler built into it, minus the object generation. 
 This means that you can get full verification that your DDS is 
free from all compiler errors before wasting any host cycles. 
 The error feedback is built in and highly visual helping you 
quickly resolve any errors.
For anyone who maintains or develops DSPF or PRTF DDS, this tool 
is a must-have.
A number of other enhancements have been made to the product. 
 The editor now supports Java, complete with error feedback.  In 
fact you can even extend the editor using macros written in Java 
allowing complex user interfaces.
The editor has additional support for column sensitive languages 
like RPG and DDS, so that insert and delete will never shift the 
data in columns other than the field you are working in.
The CODE Project Organizer has a number of enhancements 
including an easily accessible command line, quick and easy 
creation of projects and filters etc.  The Option dialogs for 
all the compiler commands and program verifiers have been 
completely updated into modern notebooks.
The new release is V3R2M1.  The ordering PID is 5716-CL3 for 
RISC or 5763-CL3 for CISC.  Service Pack 002 is also 
concurrently available via PTF SF46857 for the latest 
enhancements and bug fixes.
