Re: One way PDM towers over WDSC

I am not a C-coder, so I have only been following it out of curiosity.  It
sounds like they have some core editor functionality in place, and have
written things like code parsers to provide some of the Java-editor type
features.  There is then an architecture to plugin "tool-chains" --
compiler, linker etc.  I think there is also a debugger.

So you could probably use some of the tools right now locally, perhaps with
the GNU compilers to verify your code?  But I am not sure what you would do
to get it up to the iSeries for the real compile.

I have no idea if IBM plans on trying to plugin an iSeries "tool-chain".

Please respond to Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries

And, yes, I'd like to see verification for C/C++ - thanks for
remembering.  <bg> I remember that function in Visual Age for C++ - very
nice - and miss it in the (non?)follow-on to that product.

I intend to look at the C/C++ plugin sometime. Do you have any comments on
its utility for iSeries coding?

Thanks again

Vern
