RE: PDM/SEU

-What size monitor are you using? What resolution?  Dialog boxes are 
appropriately sized on my set up. (imho)

-Why on earth would you choose to use line commands in a PC editor?  Pine 
or ELM, yes, I understand.  But not  in a PC editor .

-I use TCP/IP over the net regularly and there is never a comm.line speed 
problem.  Could there be a different reason for the slowness?

-Type-ahead: with so many abbreviated words in the AS/400 world  would 
that big a plus?

-Seamless PDM interface?  Doesn't the Ring provide that, and more?

-Synchronize?  I don't understand what you are asking.  Your AS/400 
doesn't allow two people to edit a single source document at the same time 
now does it?

So, here's my wish list and if implemented, you never know, I might fork 
out
on a real copy.
- Make the prompting simpler (i.e. don't take up half the screen with a
prompt box.  In SEU, you can tell it to take two lines, why not in CODE?)
- Line commands in CODE are kludgy at best, they sometimes work but most 
of
the time they are infuriating!
- Make the comms layer to the 400 reliable and work at a reasonable speed
- Include the type ahead auto complete gizmos that Microsoft include so
easily in their products
- Give a seamless PDM like interface that supports exits as PDM does 
(maybe
run them on the 400 or on the PC)
- Ability to automatically synchronize source on the PC and 400.  So that 
if
someone make a change on the 400, I can still edit it on the PC without
having to re-download it.

So, IBM if you're listening, what are you doing to improve things????

Sorry Adam, but you are not comparing like with like. How long did it take
you to
learn SEU, SDA, RLU, PDM, and STRDBG? Hence the two day course.

I recently introduced Code/400 in the RPG courses (III and IV). I give a
brief
demonstration of it (10 mins) at the start of the course and tell students
that
they can use it if they wish. They are usually up and running with little
difficulty.
