I personally don't see WDSc/Rational replacing the green screen until
it
fully supports interactivity. The way it's done now bites. I do most
of
my coding in Rational, but compiling and other interactive stuff on
the
green screen. But that's just my opinion. =)
What are you looking for, Dennis? An emulator view in WDSC?
Compiling and so on can be done via WDSC, but I agree that testing green
screen requires an emulator. But do you want an embedded emulator just
for
running the program? Why is that any better than using iSeries Access?
Joe
I have had problems compiling with WDSc and have gone to the Green
Screen to compile and had the program compile successfully. Library
lists were identical on both sides. WDSc still has problems, albeit
small ones, but they are annoying. The RPG Converter is not near as
robust as RPGTOOLBOX from Linoma. Snippets in WDSc are not as friendly
as RPGTOOLBOX and can't be easily shared. I will start out a new
program on the Green Screen because I can use a snippet I wrote to
create a shell program with all the standard names and structures this
shop uses. In WDSc the shell produced needed a lot of tweaking manually
before it was useable and was more trouble than it was worth. If Linoma
ever makes a plug in for WDSc for their RPGTOOLBOX package it would
certainly help.
