Re: IBM is so confusing!

I have been using WDSC/RDp, since version 5.0.  At the time I started 
investigating WDSC, I was already using CODE/400 for 99% of my 
programming, because you could not only edit programs, but visually 
design screens and reports much easier and quicker.  I had already moved 
away, for the most part, from SEU/SDA./RLU.  I still used SEU for quick 
1 line code changes.  Of course, WDSC didn't have a screen and report 
designer, but CODE/400 did and that was far better than SDA and RLU.  
Eventually, WDSC had a "link" to open DSPF and PRTF directly from WDSC 
into CODE/400.  So, I guess you could say WDSC did have a screen and 
report designer.  It just took advantage of one that already existed.
