Re: IBM i 7.6 Development tools

I did remember DBU forgot about both WRKDBF and FEU.
I use the SQL update I don't like to.
Issue is we have non-technical types using DFU, I don't like it but they
have been doing it since the 80's-90's. It was much easier to show them
DFU than to write a program. If it goes away, will need to do something
else, not sure teaching them SQL is a good idea. What should be done is a
program to do the updates needed, I know that is what auditors would want.

Hi Sam

I'm not sure what you mean about update capabilities - we've been able
to use the *for update only* clause on *SELECT* statements for some time
- I don't know if that was added for use in ACS RSS only, or for other
reasons.

In a former life I used FEU - File Edit Utility.

See https://www.alcsoftware.com/feu/.

And there is also WRKDBF

Neither are free. But isn't ACS SQL support now allowing update
capabilities.
