IDE for Datastage Basic?

Does anyone know of an IDE for Datastage Basic?

I was hoping that Eclipse would have plugin but couldn't find one. It'd just be really nice to have something a little more robust when writing my custom server routines than the editor they provide.

I used UltraEdit.

UltraEdit won't compile, test, debug will it? I've written my own syntax highlighting in Notepad++. That's why I started looking for a plugin to Eclipse so I could leverage the intellisense, compiling, debug step through, capabilities of a full IDE.

Ah... nope, sorry, wasn't thinking it through from a "full IDE" standpoint more just from editing and syntax highlighting. Still have to paste it into DataStage for everything else.

Not sure such a thing exists.

BDT downloadable (free) as part of U2 DB Tools from Rocket Software may work.
