SEU is dead

For serious development, no question. For system administration tasks and
smaller CLP nope. The product was split off I think at V6 so it is an
orderable option now.
Most good administrators will retire before they take SEU completely away.
Just checked the MTU if it's in there it's well hidden.
Found what I was looking for. It IS buried!

This new 5770-AMT is a separate thing from 5770-WDS. Not sure who its
target audience is.
IBM Rational Application Management Toolset for i
Rational Application Management Toolset for i provides IBM i system
administrators and other advanced users with a lightweight set of tools
for the common tasks of working with library file system objects and
scripting with Command Language (CL). To meet a common need of IBM i
system administrators and advanced users, this new offering features
simple, per-processor licensing at an affordable price.
Functionally, Application Management Toolset for i is a subset of the
venerable Application Development ToolSet (ADTS) which is sold as part
of WebSphere Development Studio for i 6.1 or as part of Rational
Development Studio for i 7.1 and 7.2. Two of the key components of ADTS
are Programming Development Manager (commonly known as PDM) and Source
Entry Utility (commonly known as SEU). The new Application Management
Toolset for i includes these two components, in modified form. Specifically:
The version of SEU, that is included in Application Management Toolset
for i, only supports editing of CL source. It does not support editing
of source members written in other languages such as RPG, COBOL, C, C++
or DDS. Like SEU, this editor provides language-sensitive features such
as syntax checking and prompting for CL source members.
Application Management Toolset for i supports the operating system
member types: CL, CLLE, CLP, TXT, and CMD in the EDTCLU (same as STRSEU)
command.
Application Management Toolset for i does not support the following
member types in the EDTCLU command:
Operating system types: BAS, BASP, BND, C, CBLLE, CBL,
CICSCBLLE, CICSCBL, CICSSQLCBL, CICSC, CICSMAP, CLD, CPP, DFU, DSPF,
FTN, ICFF, LF, MENU, MNU, MNUCMD, MNUDDS, PAS, PF, PL1, PNLGRP, PRTF,
QRY, REXX, RMC, RPG, RPGLE, RPT, SPADCT, SQLC, SQLCLE, SQLCBL, SQLCBLLE,
SQLFTN, SQLPLI, SQLRPG, SQLRPGLE, SRT, TBL
System/38 types: BAS38, BASP38, BSCF38, CBL38, CL38, CLP38,
CMD38, CMNF38, DFU38, DSPF38, LF38, MXDF38, PF38, PLI38, PRTF38, QRY38,
RPG38, RPT38, SRT38, TXT38
System/36 types: ARS36, ASM36, BAS36, BASP36, BGC36, BGD36,
BGF36, CBL36, DFU36, DSPF36, DTA36, FOR36, MNU36, MSGF36, PHL36, OCL36,
RPG36, RPT36, SRT36, TXT36, UNS36, WSU36
The version of PDM that is included in Application Management Toolset
for i can be used to browse, move, filter and otherwise manipulate
objects of any type, but it only enables software development options
(such as Edit and Compile) for CL objects.
Application Management Toolset for i supports the following functions
from PDM:
All the menu functions of STRPDM (new command STRAMT)
All the functions of WRKLIBPDM (new command WRKLIBAMT)
All the functions of WRKOBJPDM (new command WRKOBJAMT) including
FNDSTRPDM (new command FNDSTRAMT) with the exception of:
No option 18 to call DFU
No option 34 to call ISDB
No option 54 to call CMPPFM
All the functions of WRKMBRPDM (new command WRKMBRAMT) including
FNDSTRPDM (new command FNDSTRAMT) with the following exceptions:
Option 2 (Edit) uses new commond EDTCLU which will only support
the member types that are listed above
No option 17 to call SDA
No option 19 to call RLU
No option 54 to call CMPPFM
No option 55 to call MRGSRC
None of the other components from ADTS are included with Rational
Application Management Toolset for i. The excluded components are:
Screen Design Aid (SDA)
Report Layout Utility (RLU)
Date File Utility (DFU)
File Compare and Merge Utility (FCMU)
Interactive Source Debugger (ISDB)
Advance Printer Function (APF)
Character Generator Utility (CGU)
Application Development ToolSet Client Server (ADTS CS)
The other key difference between Rational Application Management Toolset
for i and ADTS is the way they are licensed and priced.
ADTS, as a part of WebSphere Development Studio for i or Rational
Development Studio for i, is licensed per user per system. (A license
must be purchased for every individual who might browse the file system
with PDM, edit a program with SEU, or compile a program with one of the
heritage or ILE compilers. If an individual user does such work on
multiple systems, that user must have a separate license to use the
program on each system). The price per license remains the same
regardless of the type or software tier of the machine on which it is used.
Application Management Toolset for i is licensed per processor, for
unlimited use on that processor by any number of persons. The license is
priced according to the software tier of the machine on which
Application Management Toolset for i is used.
