Pat,

Integrated Development Environment - is just that. An Environment where we can do MANY things at once. (not sure about InteRgrated :-). Instead of SEU-RPG, then compile, then debug, then SEU-DDS, then compile, then.... we can see ALL of these source members at once, and we can perform all of these tasks from a single place.

WDSc is an IDE - PDM is not.

It is my opinion that WDSc is a better tool. I assumed it would help improve programming techniques for most programmers. With the backlash here, I see that is not the case.

Trevor

Perhaps you have come across a newer development method that
does a similar thing ??? I have been a developer for a good
many moons and I don't recall ever seeing a different method.

Could you share your definition of "Intergrated Development" ??

Aaron,

If you are still coding in "edit, compile, run, fail, debug, edit, compile, run, fail, debug, edit, compile" mode, then it would seem you are using WDSc as you did with PDM - this is not a true Integrated Development Environment.
In that case, you ~would~ expect CTRL+S to save your member to the System
i - not to the PC where you are doing the actual development work.
