Re: Fw: Clarification - confused consultant

DSPF and EDTF will be around as long as the IFS since they are mostly used
for editing and displaying IFS files.

Thanks,

Would that mean if say in V6R2 a new BIF was added you could not use it

in SEU?

That's exactly what it means, Andy.

Technically you could probably still use it, it would just tell you it
didn't recognize it.

What you mentioned about the network going down (or more frequently: WDSC
crashing) is what I was originally concerned about, but now that I know
EDTF
will work in a pinch I am not as concerned about not having SEU on a
machine. Now, if they take away EDTF I will be disgruntled because then I
will have to find another preinstalled method of editing source.

I'm curious cause this might push the remaining developers in our

shop

to

use WDSC/RDI........

And that's the ultimate goal. IBM wants to stop supporting two sets of
tooling for the i. They'd like everyone to get onto the Rational tools.

I'm still a little concerned as anybody that what happens when your
network goes down and you need to do some work on your box. At this
point, you can at least still use SEU. Several releases down the road
that might not be the case, at least not with full syntax checking.
Eventually SEU will become more like EDTF in that it won't catch syntax
errors (or probably more likely it will see errors that don't exist).
