I worked several years as developer using the "vi" editor - it HAS such things, like online help and many other features. I also know, that I know only a small part of the ISPF editor - although I work several years on z/OS systems. I also worked with xedit on z/VM and with EVE (or ED/TPU) on VMS. and I am pretty sure, that all these editors are very powerful. It depends on the environment and the experiences of the user, which editor is better, faster, more powerful, etc.
I would say: - on Unix -> vi (better, the GNU-version "vim") - on Windows -> Wordpad, Notepad, WinWord - on z/OS -> ISPF-Editor - etc. Although I like "vi" I never would use it in ISPF ;-) Hubert > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: MQSeries List <[email protected]> > Gesendet: 05.03.07 16:42:35 > An: [email protected] > Betreff: Re: What do mainframe people use?
