Re: Adios SDA, DFU, RLU, etc

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This page:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/planning-upgrade-ibm-i-75-software

says:

"IBM i 7.5 will be the last release that will deliver the following
functions from the IBM i portfolio:"

Listed (among others) is "Rational Development Studio for i (5770-WDS)
option 21" which has SDA, DFU, etc.  Does this mean STRPDM and SEU go away
too?  I only use SEU to view source members once in a great while, but I
use STRPDM a lot.

Replacement suggestions says "There are several options for replacement,
including Rational Developer for i, Code for i, and others."  RDi can do
green screen menus like SDA?

We cannot be the only business that does green screen menus and apps.
There has to be thousands and thousands of shops.
