Re: SEU-WDSc

I once worked for a company that had iSeries machines located around the world. While we did all of the program maintenance from Nashville, occasionally it was necessary to maintain individual source members (not programs). So we did not license the compilers for those machines; thus, WDSc would not have been an option. Even SEU wasn't available on all machines; what a pain!

The King (SEU/PDM) is dead. Long live the King (WDSc)!
Due to the necessary wait before a really useful PC gets here, I can only use WDSc for certain purposes that it's pretty good at doing. I expect to make the transition to more like 90% of my time in WDSc soon. For day to day stuff now, it's closer to 10%.
However, I really, /really/ hope SEU/PDM _never_ become "dead". Sooner or later, TCP/IP or an ethernet card or the DDM server or some other System i component is gonna have trouble and I'm gonna have to do some direct green-screen programming, maybe to modify the startup program or who knows what.
When that happens and WDSc is the only "live" option, somebody at IBM will hear about it. All the way from here. And it probably won't even require a phone call.
SEU/PDM don't always need to have new features, but they better be there when needed.
