Re: Drag-and-drop editing - PLEASE!

Hi Joen,

I've added some of your requests to our list of requirements:

* A preference to auto-add semicolons when I forget them (and a keyboard
shortcut to toggle the setting while I'm entering a multi-line

statement).

Added

* Intelligence in the EVENT file handling to make sure people don't

collide

when more than one person does a search at the same time.  This is a

nasty

problem, and forcing people to set *CURLIB is not a solution.

Already there

* Better reporting and troubleshooting when debug fails. (I'd like a way

to

simulate an SEP all the way through the servers, sort of like a PING
command, to identify where the request is hanging.)

Added

* And of course, a replacement for SDA.

In progress with Screen Designer

* The ability to click on an existing prototype and modify it using the
procedure wizard.

Added

* Sort and subset the Outline view.

Sort was already there, but I added subset to the list.

* Easy keyboard macros (standard record and playback).

From LPEX, you should already be able to do this - check the toolbar - just

before the triangle for compare, you should see a start, stop, and playback
button.

* A build feature--I'm sure IBM wants to avoid stepping on any vendor

toes,

but the ability to support something at the level of Alan Campin's Make
utility would be very helpful.  As Aaron points out, it would be nice if

IBM

would help us move into the ILE world.

There are other variations of the request on our list, but I've added this
one too.

thanks,
