The other person did have a point, though, with action diagram debugging. 
I am not familiar with Synon.  But I don't think AS/SET's AD debugger ever 
really took off.

Re:  Cases in AS400






 
Yes, Rob.   I totally agree--sorry  for misunderstanding your overall 
point. 
 
If folks are spending significant amounts of time looking at generated 
code, 
then I contend they are not using the CASE tool well.  The corollary  is 
that 
it does not matter what the generated code looks like.
 
A subsequent post by Reeve makes this point better than I did...   Nearly 
all 
"bugs" are logic bugs that should be found by examining the  Action 
Diagram. 
 There is a place for using the generated code for  running the debugger, 
but 
it should be a last resort.  If the problem is  not understanding why a 
variable is set a particular way, then the programmer is  probably stuck 
on the 
learning curve of parameter contexts. 
 
By the way, as you probably know, in 2e you can specify what level of 
comments you want generated.   I find it easy to read the code when I have 
to--I 
just don't care how pretty it looks.

No doubt, CASE generated code does make you  dizzy.  However I too 
suggested that you not look at the CASE  generated code.  That you stay in 

the action diagram.  At one  time I thought of changing the application 
sets to only generate the  source code into QTEMP, and compile the objects 

only into the more  permanent library.

Are we on the same track?
