RDi has a screen creator.
Its not for use with printer file design.
It is still considered a technology preview, so you're not allowed to yell
at them if it causes problems in production.
I still prefer CODE designer.

Doesn't RDi have the graphical interface for creating screens and
printfiles and WDSE uses the CODE/400 or was that just hype from IBM I
heard.

The few of us who use WDSCi here are trying to convince management that

justify
spending the money. Has anyone else successfully done this, and if so,
what
approach did you use?
From my perspective, the changes between WDSC 7.0 and RDI 7.5 do not
justify the cost.
People at IBM might argue that RDI 7.5 is a total rewrite of the product
(and I can vouch for that, as I had to do a lot of work to adapt the MKS
Implementer plug-in to work with both versions), but the the functionality
is largely the same.
These comments of David's might touch on a currently intangible
aspect. A rewrite often is needed in order to create a foundation
for future enhancements.
RDI 7.5 will be followed by RDi 7.(5+x) or RDi 8.0, whatever is
coming in the future. Will it be easier to jump from WDSCi to what's
coming in the future? Or will an intermediate RDi 7.x be needed anyway?
Sooner or later, RDi is where it will be. What can be said about
having some of it in place sooner as opposed to doing it all at once
some day?
I've often seen messes when upgrades are delayed until they're forced.
