Visual Studio Code IBM i Source Editing Plugin - That's Right It's True

Hi All,

I've been working with Liam Allan to put some finishing-touches on his latest open-source IBM i code editing project.

This time he has created a very cool Visual Studio Code Extension called: "Code for IBM i" for editing and compiling source members directly from IBM i Source Files and soon IFS files.

He will shortly be adding an IFS member browser, so both source members in an IBM i library and the IFS can be consistently edited from VS Code.

The member browser allows you to create, edit, delete, rename, copy and compile or perform other custom actions on a member using the Actions feature.

Compiler listings show up in the VS Code output window. A source type can have multiple custom actions or compile actions that can be run, similar to PDM options on the green screen.

You might call this plugin a Visual Studio Code based replacement for PDM, SEU, WRKLNK and EDTF all-in-one.

The extension is available from the Visual Studio Code Extensions Marketplace as: Code for IBM i

The extension uses SSH for IBM i connectivity and is very fast.

Here's the Github link to learn more:

Have fun with it and please contribute ideas to the project via the Issues page.

Richard Schoen
