Re: Continued CODE Issues

RLU sucks...seems like that tool wasn't thought out very well.


Thanks,

Tommy,

I'm with you (how strange, huh?) on SDA vs Code for display panels. I
tried Code for panels, but SDA just seemed easier. Perhaps I didn't
give it a fair chance.

But I do use Code for printer files. I prefer externally described
printer files, as opposed to program-described, and RLU is such a pain.

I've had issues with Code when working on printer files, but never
anything catastrophic, such as losing all of my work.

I tried CODE (and yes it works...) but from my opinion SDA is just
better. I'll give the new WDSC integrated one when it's a part of the
basic package and performs at least as well as SDA (or better). Plus

at

this time learning CODE for displays is going to be a waste of time
since it's going the way of the dinosaur...stick with SDA and wait for
it's replacement...again this is JMO!!!

I am really trying to use this product but keep running into road
blocks. The latest is that today I was designing a screen to replace
one already being used. I worked about 4 hours figuring out what

fields

needed to stay and which ones needed to be removed. I had the first
screen 2/3 done when I got a little message saying there was a problem
with CODE and did I want to send the error report. At that point
everything went away. Add that to my 4 hours lost yesterday comes t a
full day of work into the bit bucket. This is unacceptable in my
estimation. If and when IBM decides to let the riff raff use the NAI
version of CODE I will try it on something small. In direct
contradiction to those that love it I would caution anyone

contemplating

using this tool to STAY AWAY, at least for now. I am too old to be
losing days.



Thanks
