I don't see how using PDM and SEU together is a bad plan. I have to have
a green screen session in order to use STRRSESVR so why is using both
"bad"? Yes, I know that IBM isn't putting money into SEU but who cares?
There really isn't much more for them to do with it after all.

What do you need STRRSESVR for??? Service entry points make that
unnecessary.

No offense, but you are preaching to the choir. Everyone here on this
list uses WDSc and wants to be more productive using it, myself included.
Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time or money to attend an entire
day's course to learn how to do something that we can already do just fine
in SEU. I don't need rhetoric, I need concrete time-saving examples to
show my cohorts and my boss in order to procure that day off.

No offense, but if I truly was preaching to the choir you'd already have
concrete examples to show your boss. Have you shown them content assist?
Service entry points? The procedure wizard? The integrated error messages?
If those aren't enough to convince management, then they're not going to be
convinced.

Management
everywhere has the same thought - "if it ain't broke don't fix it" - and
nobody considers SEU "broke" since you can still program just fine with
it. Maybe if IBM forced the issue, but they won't.

Actually, IBM tries to force the issue. Every stinking conference George
Farr gets up in front of the room and says "SEU IS DEAD!" How much more can
IBM do???
