If your editor can give you syntax lines - like you get in SEU with FF for an F-spec - you can do RPG to your hearts content. I know that TextPad has an addin for RPG format lines - not RPGLE - I put a few of those together - then you type in positionally to your hearts content. You don't get any validation, however.
