Maybe they should release the SDA code as open source since they got behind
it so much. Let the community take care of it.

Barbara, can ya get that done? :)

I think you've gawt it, good sah!

I just checked the Memo to Users - it has this -

Support for selected Application Development ToolSet tools and
their associated commands is being
removed. These commands and menu driven screen interfaces have
been removed in IBM i 7.6:

The list includes RLU and SDA.

And this -

Source Entry Utility (SEU) and Programming Development Manager
(PDM) along with the Interactive
Source Debugger (ISDB) are the only functions that remain fully
supported in IBM Rational Development
Studio for i (5770-WDS) option 21 (Application Development
ToolSet).

Scott Forstie mentioned that he had lobbied for DFU to stay - it is
still there, though no longer supported.

A couple items remain, CMPPFM and MRGSRC, but options removed from PDM
-
I think that is 54 and 55. I really liked and used MRGSRC - fantastic
in
that it could do a 3-part merge, compare member 1 to member 2 and
select
form the latter into member 3. One can always make a user-option, I
suppose. I believe Mark W., on these lists, submitted the original
request to add these in those back-when days.

(pass: kQ^.TY2N)

According to Liam Allen SDA & RLU will be on 7.6 but not supported.

Anyone care to elaborate?

TIA
