Rational Developer for i

[rynspate]

So, for anyone following my embedded SQL in C saga, I had been using just normal green screen 5250 emulator to write it out, which was pretty painful. I have since switched to using Rational Developer for i and have two questions.

1. How do you delete lines from rational developer? In green screen I place a 'D' in the margin, hit enter, and it's done. But I'm not sure about RDi.

2. Is there something better than RDi?

1) D in the sequence number area works just fine as do all of the other SEU line commands. Only real difference is that you can't CC blocks from one source member into another - you have to use conventional PC-stlye block copying.

2) "Better" is subjective and to a degree depends on the language .you are coding I am somewhat familiar with three different editors but since I don't code in C ....

RDi is IBM's solution and by far the most integrated into the system. miWorkplace has rec ently been purchased by Remain and is being enhanced regularly. Nice tool and a lot cheaper that RDi but I have no idea if it supports C (https://www.miworkplace.com/) . Latest to join the club is the IBM i extension to VS code from Halcyon. Good tool - unbeatable price and it appears to supporet C/CPP (https://halcyon-tech.github.io/vscode-ibmi/#/)

Enjoy
