My only argument (and a weak one at that) is that STRSQL or better yet the ACS SQL scripting cannot look at data from a hex view since often times the hex view will show data issues otherwise not found easily. If it can please instruct me how!

The ability to easily view hex is a requirement for me, so I use a couple of different tools. DBU and other commercial products have that ability and I do use it.

Beyond "[write your own] or DBU, or one of the many other commercial utilities available" in the case of replacing DFU, nothing has been offered in this thread.

What about strsql?

I'm using this quite regular, because I speak SQL pretty well. I'm only appalled to use it in my interactive applications, because native DB access is a lot faster on my venerable 150. :-)

SQL also means, I can tuck copy-paste-snippets in a src-pf for runsqlstm or somewhere else on my Mac for direct execution in strsql. All for semi one-shot executions, just as with DFU. I rarely use DFU because "compiling temporary application" is also taking quite a time on my 150.

I know DFU lets you put together a simple PF maintenance application with no programming at all. My Subfile Template application can probably fill this gap. https://github.com/PoC-dev/as400-sfltemplates
