Re: How many of you will stay at V7R5 lower due to SDA removal ?

I have to second Patrik for the UIM menus - they are so much easier than SDA menus.

You have only 1 source - resulting in only 1 menu object - containing the menu UI (including scrolling menus with many options) and full help text.

If there is only one good result of the death of SDA it might be a wider adoption of UIM menus upon IBM I developer.

Daniel

As of today I am fully retired so the SDA issue no longer applies to me.

Maybe you come back tinkering with IBM i privately? Has happened before with others: A Leopard rarely changes its spots. ;-)

The only thing I used SDA for was menus, What is the alternative (if any)
to maintain these menus?

Simple and this has been said from not only from me: Leave DDS menus and use UIM based menus. Once you have established the first menu from scratch, it's merely copy-member-and-change. See the Application Display Programming PDF from IBM.

:wq! PoC
