Re: SEU vs. ?

["Wilbert van der Hoeven" <hoeveb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SEU hasn't changed a bit in the last 12 years (or more). There are a lot of
things that modern editors can do and SEU can't. Furthermore there are a lot
of things I have to type that could also be selected form a list. I.e.
filenames and fieldnames. Why doesn't SEU have a proper undo function, color
coding, nesting info, source navigation, automatic opcode completion, etc?
The iSeries knows the description of a field. Then why can't SEU show me
that information when I use that field in a statement? Why can't SEU put the
fielddescription in the comment field when I want?
There are a lot of products that provide some of these features. Editor/400
has those features, why hasn't SEU?
It still amazes me.
