Re: How about adding Hawkeye to RDI Extensions

I agree Ken.

I think there a number of reasons that Hawkeye tends to get ignored. For one, for many years it was completely stagnant. They only relatively recently changed the web site so that it had any marketing materials. It used to be that you went to the website and could easily believe that they didn't actually want to sell anything to you. I can remember once suggestion g a client tae a look at the produce and eventually hearing back from him that they wouldn't sell the product to him because "they had reached their customer limit" (or something like that). I don't know if they appear at COMMON, but I know they are about the only major tool vendor who has never appeared at the RPG & DB2 Summit - so they still don't seem to do much marketing.

In other words they kind of disappeared from view and so those of us promoting RDi tend not to even think about them.

Hi,

I have been a long time user of the package called Hawekeye/Pathfinder. A wonderful time saving cross reference tool for the IBM i.

For the last year or more, Hawkeye has had a plugin for RDI for the Modern RPGLE developers!

So, how to we go about getting that added to this link:

Name: Pathfinder / Hawkeye
Link: Hawkeye Path-Finder - http://hawkinfo.com/PathfinderPlugin/update2.0.0
Description: Plugin for the Hawkeye Cross Reference tool for IBM i
Creator: Pathfinder / Hawkeye
Free/For sale: Commercial

If you have the NEW Hawkeye 9.7, it supports SQL statements past the Punch card column -80. Which on IBM i 7.3, IBM finally Removed that last Century Punch Card column Restriction.
Yeah!!! Go RDI!!! WooHoo!!!

Just like other fine 3rd party tools like Linoma Toolbox & Softlanding/Turnover. I feel this also need to be added to the "How to Extend RDI".

Thanks.
