Less code isn't always better code!
I (and many others) read and understand large tables (RPGIII FIXED format) more efficiently and completely then "pseudo-Text".
I used to scan code with my eyes.
Now I have to read so very much more.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] IBM is so confusing!
Just want to clarify that I am a solid supporter of WDSCi/RDP.
My point was in response to "The market overwhelmingly prefers SEU." where
I said _rhetorically_ "And is that because
getting/installing/learning/using WDSCi RDP itself is
so confusing?" This is classic chicken/egg question which was intended to
revert back to thread topic.
"I think it is because it is not as good as SEU."
Gotta disagree there. 21 lines of code vs 47 on one page, outline
navigation, color coding comments and documentation, SEP and the list goes
on.
"RDP ----- Screen Design Check! Report Designer Check!
Debug??? Hello?! SEP ... I'll say it again... SEP!!!!! I haven't
debugged in a green screen debugger since discovering Service Entry Points
(SEP). It is hands down the best debugger on the system. And SEP's are
there in WDSC 7 too."
