Text Editor

Our Payroll department creates fixed length files on our
IFS.  On occasion,
they will need to make a change in a certain column of a
certain record.
Since they have no green screen access (P/R software is
GUI),  they cannot
use WRKLNK, EDTF, etc. on the iSeries and Wordpad/Notepad
does not have a
column indicator that they can use to determine the column
that the cursor
is in.  Can anyone recommend a PC Text Editor which has a
column indicator
(preferably freeware)?
 
Thanks,
Steve

contributing the $.

I use jEdit as my primary PC text editor (http://www.jedit.org).

I use NoteTab - it has a free version, and a for pay pro
version.  Once I
got used to it I sprung for the pro.  It was VERY worth it.

Steve,

I use NotePad2, which is totally free, and can be found at 
http://www.flos-freeware.
ch

It has a row-column indicator, as well as highlighting for
several text 
types (SQL, HTML, Java, etc).

Question:  Would you have your payroll department update the
PR files in 
DB2 using UPDDTA?  Probably not.  (We used to on occasion -
BIG MISTAKE to 
lead them into temptation.)  Then why would they use an
editor that allows 
them to change willy-nilly other HR data without editing and
auditing?
