Peter, just mark some D-specs with binary fields (B in position 40) and run the scripts from the Scripts menu; it will convert the "B" to an "I". It is only "useful" in the sense that it only works if the from and to positions are specified, but it's just meant to show you how easy it is.

Joe,

I installed Eclipse Monkey and keyed in your example, but for some reason it just does nothing at all...

Are you invoking the script when in the iSeries Editing perspective?

It looks kinda promising, but it'd have to actually DO something to be useful, of course ;-)

(I'm probably overlooking something very obvious here)

What PDM needs is built-in scripting. Rexx would be a good choice. Fat chance!

And what Eclipse (RDi) has that PDM does not is exactly that - all kinds of built-in scripting. Currently most of it is a little rough around the edges, but it's very interesting. I've been playing with something called Eclipse Monkey that allows you to write RPG editor scripts using JavaScript.
