List of Best IBM iSeries Code Editor Tools for RPG Programming in 2021

 Many companies and RPG developers migrated from SEU (Stoneage Editing Utility) to RDi (Rational Developers) in order to edit RPG codes. But there are many other code editors available. In this post, we have described various advanced integrated RPG code editors. Let’s go back to the old days of terminals when there was no internet, and the green screen was only accessible. In that era, IBM’s code editor SEU, and the green screen 5250, remained supreme for decades.



Every RPG programming and development services provider must have been familiar with SEU. Although it was introduced around fifty years ago, but it was the standard code editor for IBM AS400 and iSeries.

In 2008, with the launch of IBM i V6.1 in a significant OS upgrade process, IBM announced to withdraw the support for old SEU. This move was intended because IBM wanted people to adopt their flagship code editor, i.e., RDi. But SEU has not ended completely, it is still in use, it’s just that updates are longer available for the same. For more than a decade, SEU syntax checking was part of IBM V6, and now it is a nightmare to write new IBMi codes on SEU, as it counts the latest features as an error.

IBM RDi is also a code editor for RPG developers. Earlier, RD was known as WDSC (WebSphere Development Studio Client), but after the complete revamping of IDE, it was re-branded by the name of RDi. If you are not using IDE code editor for RPG programming, your RPG developers are probably stuck with years-old text-based code editors. In this modern era, it’s time for you to make a switch to modern code editing software.

There are various IBM iSeries codes editing solutions available (Opensource, Freeware, and Modern), let’s have a look at them:
