Re: She (SDA/RLU 7.6) loves me she loves me not

Don, I believe we saw a post here that AI assist may come to RDi. I 
won't say more, maybe I was dreaming.

I don't agree that RDi is not up to the task for DSPF objects - yes, it 
does not do menus as a whole the way SDA does, but it is really good, in 
my experience, for regular DSPFs. As a hint, I find it extremely helpful 
to have the Properties window open when working on DSPFs - when you 
click on anything, especially fields, all the properties are listed AND 
editable - when I change it in the Properties, it is changed in the 
source. And the difference is visible immediately.

I am glad there are options in that area, however, from vendor products 
to UIM menus.

*Regards*
