Slickedit runs on Linux and can edit PDS(E) data sets using standard

the interal E editor used by IBM so you would expect it to support IBM
languages off the bat. It's scripting language is a hybrid of REXX and
C/C++ called slick-c.
I find Slickedit painfully slow; it seems to be bound by X11 bandwidth.
Tedious locally; useless via VPN over DSL. Feels as if it transmits a
payload of one pixel per packet.
X11!! Crikey, what system are you running on? Slickedit uses Qt on
Windows, Linux and Mac. The native mac port is quite new and I know that
used to fall back to X11.
Last week I opened an 8GB JSON file, positioned to the end, performed an
edit and saved. The response time for each interaction other than save
was sub-second. I use it both locally and over a VPN and have never
experienced performance problems.
Hipster kids all seem to be using Atom which I must admit is very slick.
It's amazing what you can do with HTML and Javascript these days.
The FTP client supports both PDS(E) data sets and HFS,
which is the only editor FTP client I know of that does.
I wonder why there shoulc be such restrictions. Do the other "editor
FTP client[s]" gratuitously impose constraints on pathname syntax?
