Whoosh! A syntax direct editor is a frequent component of an IDE. What seems to you is, as usual, wrong. Meanwhile, you are hypocritically doing exactly what you accuse me of and not even trying to understand what I and others have written.

Shrug! I could care less what you think. You're understanding of mainframe technology seems to be chained to the past. Hence why you take so many endless trips down memory lane. > > BTW, syntax directed editors have been around longer than three decades, > regardless of when you first discovered them. I don't remember mentioning syntax directed editors? I was talking about LSP and using a client/server architecture to decouple the editor from language specific features like context assist, hover over, auto-completion and advanced static code analyzers. Any editor that is an LSP client can uses IBM's free COBOL, PL/1, HLASM language servers. And that is pretty much every popular editor including Vim (neovim). Zowe has mainframe specific editors that use LSP. There are also many commercial products coming online from mainframe vendors that use LSP. It seems to me that you don't even bother trying to understand what I'm talking about. You just hit reply and start typing lots of pompous, ignorant drivel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
