RE: Why CODE instead of LPEX?

I believe CODE will be incorporated into WDSc (Eclipse) over time. The big
issue is converting CODE's code to the Java compatible SDK that Eclipse
uses.

Subject: Why CODE instead of LPEX?

There have been several recent posts urging the use of CODE/400 for
developers beginning their foray into the world of alternate development
tools for the iSeries.  I may regret asking but I have a question.  Let me
start by saying I have nothing against CODE.  I only recently had the
opportunity to use it and I have no complaints although I prefer to use the
LPEX editor in WDSc 5.0.  The designer is taking a little longer however.
My question is this; why the push towards CODE when IBM has stated that it
will be replaced by the LPEX editor in WDSc?  Am I misunderstanding IBM's
intent?  It seems to me resources would be better spent on learning the
tools that will replace CODE rather than learning something with a limited
life span.
