Better Load Table Editing Platform
The Load Tables are a critical point for any data management of a library. While many functions and features have been migrated from character-based system access to web access or within the SDA, this feature has not changed. Programming with what seems like a unix-based editor reminds me of the "dark ages" of programming.
Idea Value
Many times the syntactical error or omission of a line in my load table editing sessions happen because of the UNIX-like environment where editing takes place. Increased modernization of the editor would streamline the process.
This idea was selected for development from the All Systems Go challenge.
Design of this enhancement is underway. I will provide an update when we have determined which release will include this enhancement.

I will share an update on our progress on a new load table editing platform at the IUG Conference in Detroit (March 25-27, 2024).
