If you would show RDA and RLU to an experienced RPG'er, they
would pick RDA as IBM's product because it is so much like SDA.
RLU is so different. RDA also does both O-specs and DDS. If you
know SDA, then you will be able to use RDA right of the box without
any help or slow down. I believe the only reason that external printer
files have not caught on is because we got RLU instead of RDA. I'm
sure many more people would be using Code/400 if it was part of
the ADTS rather than an additional purchase.
