"Must-Have IBM iSeries Code Editor Tools for AS400 Development" Are you deeply invested in employing IBM AS400 applications for your critical business operations? Are you looking to develop, modernize, or revamp your AS400 applications by incorporating the latest features? If yes is your, AS400 RPG programming is here for you. Business leaders and RPG programmers are popularly using RPG programming language to satisfy their modern technological needs such as – Enhancing existing RPG software Creating technical documentation Troubleshooting technical challenges Automating AS 400 business processes With the increasing demand for iSeries developers, the RPG development market has also seen an upward trend in the number of RPG programming tools. Many companies and RPG developers recently migrated from SEU (Stoneage Editing Utility) to RDi (Rational Developers) to efficiently edit RPG codes. In addition to this, there are many other effective code editors available for iSeries developers. Want to know more about the tools leveraged by advanced programmers in RPG? Today, we are going to discuss a variety of advanced integrated RPG code editors to help you find the best suitable tools. Let’s dive in. SEU is the AS/400’s main source code editor. It is so important that all programmers get acquainted with it. SEU is a full-screen editor. Speaking of code editor tools, it would be sheer injustice if we didn’t talk about the good old days of IBM’s code editor SEU’s, and the green screen 5250’s supremacy that lasted for decades. Not to forget, it was a golden era without the internet. Every RPG programming professional and AS400 program development services provider must have been familiar with SEU. Although it was 50 years old, it was the standard and reliable code editor for IBM AS400 and iSeries applications. The Death of SEU In 2008, IBM announced the withdrawal of the support for the old SEU in a significant OS upgrade process, with the launch of IBM i V6.1. The move was purely intended to make the task force of RPG developers and service providers adopt their flagship code editor, i.e., RDi. While many iSeries developers have embraced RDi, some continue to use SEU to this day. It’s not that SEU is dead, but it has not received any latest updates. For more than a decade, SEU syntax checking was part of IBM V6, and now it is a nightmare for most RPG developers to write new IBM i codes on SEU, as it counts the latest features as an error. About IBM RDi IBM RDi is another code editor earlier known as WDSC (WebSphere Development Studio Client). It was renamed as RDi after IDE went under a complete revamp. If you are not using an IDE code editor for RPG programming, your AS400 RPG developers are probably stuck with years-old, inefficient text-based code editors. In this modern era, it’s high time for you to make a switch to modern code editing software. Today, there are tons of IBM iSeries code editing solutions available such as Opensource, Freeware, Modern, etc. Let’s have a look at them one by one.
