Re: Format command for externally-described

For the record, SEU was also a chargeable product as well, partners just
buried that in the total cost of the system. That said the investment in
RDi will pay for itself in productivity in way under a year. At least use
one of the other options rather than SEU.

90% of what I do is in CL, and it still is way easier in RDi than SEU.

That was deliberate, by IBM, to push people to license (pay for) RDi ...
There is no technical reason why SEU could not be enhanced ... perhaps we
need to lobby IBM to release the SEU source code as "open source"?

Sorry, James - I just don't agree - or perhaps understand.

SEU was old long and clunky long before free-form RPG came along and that
removed the only thing it was ever any good at - namely syntax checking the
code. Now you can't even do that if you use any feature introduced in the
past 10 years or so.

But why oh why use SEU? Sigh ...

Because you're accessing the box from a terminal session?

Because you're an old terminal-jock?

Because you LIKE SEU?
