I've asked IBM several times about putting the Data Perspective into 
RDi, but haven't gotten a lot of traction.  It is significantly better 
than Quantum DB; Quantum has some serious lacks ranging from annoying 
(the clumsy nature of the save and restore) to unforgiveable (no Undo in 
the editor).

And of course, it's available in RDi-SOA, the "expensive" version.  
Although adding an entire web application development environment that 
allows you to develop both thin and rich client applications for less 
than three times the cost of the RPG-only tool just doesn't sound so 
expensive to me.  And I'm one of those people who DON'T think that you 
can spend your way out of a recession... <smile>
