Re: hawkeye -- WDSCI-L

We're stuck with Hawkeye too. I have TN5250J installed just for the purpose of opening source members in LPEX from the green screen. But I prefer Client Access for the green screen for several reasons, so I wrote a couple of little programs to make it work from CA. The first program I call from my PDM and Hawkeye user options to send the lib, file, and mbr data to a data queue. Then I have a TN5250J session running in WDSCi that calls another program that monitors this data queue and when an entry comes in it does the little thingy needed to load the member in LPEX. Works pretty slick. The only thing I have to do is each morning I have to startup the session of TN5250J, but that takes only a few seconds.

TN5250J does work well. I have had success converting green screen
programmers to WDSC with it.
It got them started on using LPEX editor. Then it was a matter of time
before they started using the rest of it.

Hi,

Frank Hildebrant put together a 5250 emulator plugin (TN5250J) that
works within WDSC/RDi and within it you can use a PDM option to open
source in the LPEX editor. This isn't exactly what the OP was looking
for, but it covers some of the bases, I think.

I must admit I have not used the plugin for a year, but it worked
reasonably well and was well supported by Frank back then.

Best regards,
Paul

Yep, Eric

I realized that the Arcad 5250 wouldn't help this situation - but kept on typing anyhow.

No, not with Rdi. The last release to include CODE/400 was WDSCi 7.0.
The hooks are still there, if you already have the product installed,
but otherwise, it is not part of the Rdi product.

Re: user options to access Pathfinder, the product DOES support

outfile

and/or object lists (for mass compile and so forth), but not sure how
those could work without plugin code to integrate these lists into
actions.

Re: Arcad TN5250 plugin, what's the point? This is still disconnected
from the IDE, and offers no benefit to the developer within the IDE.

OK now I'm going to be ignorant here - is CODE not included with RDi

on
a separate CD? Or can't you just run your present CODE separately? I'm

not using 7.5, so I'm not up on this completely.

Also, is there a command that will call RDi from the green screen,

that
you could put into a user option?

Also, Arcad does have a 5250 plugin for WDSC (RDi?).

it didn't bother me that I had to use the green screen to use Hawkeye

since

I could customize it to open source members in CODE.

I can't do that with RDi, though. It's my understanding that Hawkeye

has no

intentions of ever producing an eclipse plugin. Does anyone have any
thoughts on Hawkeye alternatives that provide an eclipse plugin?

Thanks,
