Re: AW: AW: Development Environment Tools for RPG 400 .

Joking or not, I did find a syntax file for Notepd++ - someone here mentioned one from Icebreak - and it works nicely in the current version of NP++.

It will have to be updated for fully-free RPG, I suspect - I didn't look at the details of the XML file that has the specifications.

And Rory mentioined he has a syntax file for TextPad!

Cheers
Vern

Vern,

I was just kidding. Years ago I tried to add syntax highlightning for RPG. But I have not been very sussesful. But I assume, that Notepad++ did not use the current UDL 2.0 styler. Maybe that it would work better today, because the way keywords are detected has been changed with UDL 2.0.

Regards,

Thomas.

I've looked at Notepad++ for a specific purpose - is the RPG syntax stuff available on their site?

Buck,

Did you already consider to use Notepad++? It is free and you can add your own syntax highlightning for RPG!

What might 'best' mean for you? You specifically mention RPG/400 - that is old, old, old, so I am guessing that 'free' ranks quite highly as far as 'best' goes.

When I used to maintain RPG/400 code (because ILE RPG wasn't invented
yet!) I used and loved Code/400. Your company probably has a copy of Websphere Development Studio Client 6 or 7. Code/400 is on those CDs.

Today, if I have to work on old RPG source, I convert that source to
ILE RPG format. I like and use Rational Developer for i

Have you any idea about rpgnextgen?

It hasn't been updated in a while but it's still worlds better than Notepad.
