Scott,

Interesting comment.

Question, which one do you use? Given the nicely styled ILE RPG code
in HTTPAPI, FTPAPI, ect.. I'd think it would have been painful to
write either of those using SEU.

Technically, PDM and SEU are not the same thing.  But, PDM calls SEU
when it needs to edit code.

They both come together as part of a package named ADTS. (Application
Development Tool Set) along with a few other things.

Personally, I think the advantages of WDSC/RDi/RDP over PDM/SEU are
being constantly overstated in these forums.  There are certainly some
things that RDi does better, like copy/paste, outline view, syntax
highlighting.

But these things aren't the ultra-awesome, revolutionary things that
folks in these forums make them out to be.  Yes, copy/paste is better in
RDi, but I could still do it in SEU, and I could do it pretty well.
Yes, outline view is useful, but searching out what I'm looking for also
works.  Yes, syntax highlighting/coloring can be nice, but I can read my
code okay when it's all one color.

Personally, I think the user interface seen by the USER is far more
important than the interface seen by the DEVELOPER.

PDM is not SEU, SEU is a part of PDM.... correct?  I didn't not grow up
with this system so please forgive me.  When I talk about advantages of
WDSC it is for development purposes over the use of SEU.  I do not know
what all PDM uses, but I often do system stuff from the command line
instead of IBM's snail pased windows alternatives (might be a slight
exageration, but I believe only slight).  Developing in WDSC/RD(insert
letter) is significantly faster than SEU and you can recoup the learning
curve with productivity gains in a month if you are in code all day
everyday.
