Re: 7.6 and SDA ?

Patrik,
"need" is not a word open to opinion.
Is SEU "needed" to edit a CL program in a crisis situation? If you were
tasked in such a situation to work on a system without SEU would you reply
to IBM that you couldn't do it? Or would you find a way?

They are under the mistaken impression that all LPARs need it to do

quick changes from support line. That is the reason quoted for not taking
it away.

I take it, the term "mistaken" is your personal opinion. Please recognize
that others might have different opinions, based on differences on how they
work with the system. Including muscle-memory.

Most of my LPARs do not have the development tools loaded as that

violates change management.

Not all users have the same requirements you face regarding
change-management.

For some quick and dirty CL program in a restricted state, I could use

EDTF. And there's your lightweight equivalent to notepad.

No, it's not. IMHO. Edtf is more cumbersome to use than SEU and not
likewise neatly integrated into wrkmbrpdm. Also: muscle-memory. Also, I'd
not strictly count SEU as being a development tool. It's an editor for text
contained in members of files. But this in turn is my personal opinion.

:wq! PoC
