IBM i Editor keeps getting better

Fresh out today - thje latest build of the RPG Next Generation editor - 0.5.0

Open Source at its best and finally a nice, friendly, easy to use code editor for the IBM i.


Download the latest version for here

It's at version 0.5 so still in early days yet, but with each minor release it's getting sharper... I know use it for around 50% of my coding on the IBM i and when/if it ever gets to the stage where it allows me to prompt things like %BIFS then I will be dancing for joy.

Incidentally - evn though its called RPG/NG it works equally well for editing DDS (DSPF, PF, LF, etc..) and of course all the Control Language programs you like...

Dancing...

That may not be that far away. My goal is to have code assist and template support in the next release. I don't know at which level it will be but my plan is to start with it soon.

Other source types...

... will not be supported in any way soon. To support RPG to a level with the editor where you can drop RDi/WDSc is enough for me. No resources for anything else.

I understand the focus on

I understand the focus on RPGLE but dont restrict it by member type...

The ability to quickly open a DDS in RPG/NG and edit it in free format is invaluable... if it were limited to RPGLE member types only then it's going to severely limit operation.

Keep up the good work Mihael - Cheers!
