Source colouring in SEU

I don't have to use SEU very often any more, thank God. And soon, no one else will - either.

But nevertheless, this is a neat hack.

I'm off to the Python UK booze up after work this evening - see you there!

You'll know me by my tin of Spam. No, really.

The CLEAR op-code in RPG

"CLEAR" advantage over resetting work fields discusses the CLEAR op-code in RPG.

Doesn't mention the RESET op-code, which I use a lot. Or did - I haven't touched RPG in months, thank God. RESET allows you to customize what the fields in a structure get set to.

Also - Using date data-type fields in RPG-IV and A new and improved find command.

UML modeling in Eclipse

Rational XDE is a plug-in for IBM's Eclipse based Websphere Studio allowing round-trip visual UML modeling.

It includes pattern wizards, database modeling, J2EE support, and loads of groovy stuff.

Very cool. But $3595! Don't think I'll be getting it...

There is a Visual Studio.NET version too.
