Re: Code/400

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lisa,

There is nothing to be nervous about, I use Code/400 both locally 
and through a remote connection every day.  I have used several 
other products and SEU, and I am very convinced Code/400 is the 
best tool available.  It is not perfect, but it does allow you to take 
better advantage of your resources.  For example, I use a 21" monitor, 
and with SEU I am restricted to 24 lines on a display.  With Code/400 
I can view over 80 lines in a more readable format.

I am one of the ones who really likes the Code/400 debugger.  I 
don't use it every time (probably about 10% of the time) because 
it is overkill in most situations.  You can save your setup so when I 
have something that requires a lot of repeated setup I use it.  Last 
year I had a bug that took about two days to isolate.  It required 
that I constantly monitor hundreds of variables as hundreds of 
procedures were executing.  In that case I am sure I saved at least 
a day.

David ... Your comment on Code/400 makes me very nervous.  I saw several
demos of Code/400 at Commons last spring, and a fellow employee saw similar
demos at the MidRange Connection conference last week.  We both were really
impressed with the product, and are ready to bring it in for a demo.  I know
I've heard a lot of negative things about it in the past, but the new
release (I think it's V3R2Mod1 now) supposedly addresses all the past
problems.  What version are you working with, and does anyone else have
opinions on the new release?
