RE: RPG IV debugger

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think we mostly agree.  A couple of years ago, at the height of client
server frenzy, we ported a couple of key applications from the PC network to
the 400 (where the data was, anyway.)  Strangely enough, they worked better.
I'd still like an IDE (and one that's not optional at extra cost) that
includes the kind of project management (the productive kind, not the stuff
that makes the cute charts) that you get with PC development tools.

On that, I agree wholeheartedly.   This is also true of many things on
the AS/400.  You get slightly less feature-rich tools than you would
on a PC.   And often, the cost of setting them up on a PC is a lot
cheaper as well.

Of course, on the other hand, the AS/400 stuff tends to be a lot more
stable, when programs finally DO crash, they give you a way of finding
out WHY...  Thats why I stick with an AS/400 for my business :)
