Re: Debug in WDSC

   Hi Bill,
   take a look at Don Nitke's page www.modernrpgiv.com.
   In 9 lessons he shows a lot of tricks around WDSC. Then try it at work.

   Hi Bill,
   I feel your pain. I had a number of issues with wdsci when I
   started trying to use it a year or so ago including losing large amounts
   of
   work when it crashed. I would like to say that due to the encouragement of
   those on this list, the steady improvement of the product, and my
   gradually
   increasing understanding of the product, I have become much more
   productive
   using wdsci than I could ever be using seu. It keeps improving and I keep
   discovering ways to leverage its capabilities. I think that if you stick
   with it you will see a payoff as well. By all means go back to seu when
   you
   get disgusted, but if you keep trying the time will come when you start to
   feel the limitations of seu...
   Code designer is THE BEST tool I have. RLU SDA - I hated them. For
   screen design or print file design Code Designer is the bomb! I even write
   my PFs in Code these days - it encourages me to comment and document...
   Hope you stay with it and hope that your shop stays with the iSeries
   (or whatever) it is still the safest most stable platform on earth...

   So far I am not impressed with the quality of WDSC. It seems to have been
   released as a pre-beta version with many "GOTCHA's" such as the compile
   errors in SQLRPGLE and the conversion problem with embedded SQL and the
   fact
   that you can't create a DSPF only maintain it the same for PRTF.
   In reading the WEB page when I first signed up for this service I read the
   4
   reasons for switching to WDSC and 3 of them were directly related to
   WEBSPHERE. We aren't going to switch to WEBSPHERE ever. The 3 year plan
   here is to move off the iSeries completely and find another platform
   solution for our flagship application, I don't know if that decision can
   be
   changed, the perception is that the iSeries is an antiquated platform with
   no future. Part of the problem is that it has taken so long for anyone to
   come up with a viable WEB interface that does not require hiring JAVA
   programmers and expanding the iSeries to handle the load of WEBSPHERE not
   to
   mention the added expense to beef up the desktops to handle JAVA
   applications.

   Back to RSE I made the statement earlier this week to Joe Pluta that RSE
   is
   not yet ready for prime time. He disagrees and encouraged me to join this
   forum. I have not yet changed my mind on the quality and performance of
   this tool. I can still work 20 times faster in SEU, SDA and RLU. I have
   been fighting RSE off and on for about 6 months and still find it more
   difficult than it should be. The tool I use should not be more complicated
   than the programs I write.

   Thanks
   Bill Barnes
