A product I recommend is DBU from ProData. This is a file viewer/editor
intended for programmers and IT staff. I've always thought the price is
very reasonable for the productivity gains.

A much higher priced tool I'd LIKE to get is X-Analysis from
Databorough.
It does a very good job of analyzing program and data flows, and allows
an
interactive investigation into this information. It's available with
several add-on products depending on your needs and your budget.

Required products for a new i user?






This is just a opinion question. But what products (extra cost) do ya'll
think are "de rigeur" for a new i shop? So far, just from overhearing,
it looks like we will be getting Robot/Scheduler and Robot/Tape. I read
here about the System i Navigator and am reading up on it. I really like
the "for Wireless" option, but that is "extra cost". Now, I am a bit
worried (probably unnecessarily) that the proposal might not include
some extra cost products in order to look more attractive.

On the compiler question: is each compiler licensed separately, or are
the all a single package? I would hope the latter.
