will get fixed....

Mike.  The Designer Lab that is part of IBM's own Code/400 2 day course
produces crashes, failures to actually save files when asked to, and a
failure to produce valid checkpoint files.  Last week when I ran the course
in Portland these errors occurred consistently both in the V3R2M3 version
(on NT 4.0) and in the V4R5 version on W2K.  Reproducing these problems is
not difficult - just remember to select the wrong pull-down etc. from time
to time (like real people do ;-)



 There are other ways to crash it including asking it to validate a file
with field references when not connected (even if the file is cached),
switching to the Code/400 editor then validating/compiling the DDS and
switching back to the designer.  Other non-crash (but still annoying
features) are that checkpoint files often lose their record groupings (but
you can tell it knows about them because you can't re-use the same name)
the same (or similar) often happens when you save the file to the AS/400 -
no checkpoint info is saved.
