Re: Learning SEU, Source members, etc for the non I programmer?

Justin,

Desktop Guide to AS/400 Programmers' Tools by Dan Riehl.  My battered 
copy on my bookshelf is copyright 1995.  Amazon seems to have used 
copies for $10-$15. Gives a good intro to both PDM and SEU and also 
details of both, enough that you should be able to converse with green 
screen developers.
