Wouldn't a more accurate comparison be WDSc & CODE vs. RDP? If someone is already using WDSc, what are the chances they're still using RLU & SDA?

Just a thought...

Immediately. Maybe sooner. :)

Seriously, I've got an article coming out in tomorrow's MC Press that
addresses just that fact. The Screen Designer and Report Designer in
RDP should be enough to make you move. These features are no longer a
"technology preview" (which simply meant that Brian Farn hadn't had
enough time to finish it), and they're light years ahead of SDA (we
won't even sully them with a comparison to the Really Lousy Utility
<grin>). If you do any 5250 development, then RDP is going to make you
more productive. Period.

And this is for V5R3 and V5R4 folks as well. RDP will back-connect just
fine.
