IBM has several utilities to help programmers do a better and more organized job. This chapter quickly reviews three of them: Program Development Manager (PDM), Source Entry Utility (SEU), and Screen Design Aid (SDA).
IBM no longer enhances these utilities, recommending that programmers use the PC-based WebSphere Development Server client (WDSc) instead. However, the complexity of WDSC and the fact that a large workstation is required are reasons that many programmers still use these utilities for everyday development.
