Re: She (SDA/RLU 7.6) loves me she loves me not

Right now, only a DDS DSPF/PRTF preview renderer exists. It gives you a pretty good preview of how the format will look.

But a team is working on a full fledged DSPF/PRTF "wysiwyg" editor - similar to the RDi DDS designer. I think we will see something this year - but I have no official information about that.

Daniel

I don't know, if that's a good idea - IMHO it's better to concentrate all
efforts on the Code for i DDS designer for VSCode.

For menus you still have multiple opportunities - e.g. create the DDS/DSPF
and MSGF and then create the MNU object manually. Or create UIM menus
instead - which is also quite forward.

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.

I think Liam misread it.
SDA is supposed to be removed.

Hello guys

According to this zoom session - minute 48:30

(pass: kQ^.TY2N)

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

Anyone care to elaborate?

TIA
