Re: SEU and V7R1.

- 1 from me!!

I have to go with Jon's comments. I had looked at CODE/400 and all back in the late 90s, was not really impressed, and IBM did not have, in my experience, a real good way of helping customers. I guess I refer here more to VA for RPG, where the competitor was very actively working with prospects, while it was a lot of work to get anything from IBM.

Nonetheless, I went on to WDSC sometime after it first came out - kind of a hate-hate relationship, I admit.

Now I find RD-whatever to be a fantastic tool. AND I still go to PDM for some things, even SEU for some simple stuff.

AND IBM have provided AMTS - Application Management Toolset (5761-AMT) that gives you PDM plus CL editing in SEU. That combines very well with RD*, in my opinion.

Cheers
Vern

Anyone who knows Bob knows that his modus operandi is NOT customer centric, nor IBM i centric. He stubbornly and tenaciously manipulates for his personal interests.
