My limited understanding is that the budget is limited. IBM can't provide all the tools without charging more, and it is not clear everyone wants to pay more. To me a classic example would be conversion programs for RPG/400 syntax to RPG IV.
If you have worked w/ a "real" ILE application (and you probably have), I think that you'll admit that the development environment is not even close to what it needs to be. There are *way* too many manual steps, info that is clumsy to get at, etc. Letting IBM off the hook at this stage of the ILE game (I was a lot more forgiving when ILE first came out) for a real dearth of ILE management tools, is not productive. I agree w/ you about simple tools, i.e. the OPM -> ILE source converter, but not basic object creation / management tools. A "real" integrated MAKE tool is a no-brainer as a requirement. I believe that this is *one* of the reasons that it's taken a long time for ILE to catch on - it's a more difficult environment to manage, but I don't think that it has to be that way. -mark
