For all the good things we're getting in WDSC, little is said about a
fantastic feature of PDM. This is the ability to apply the same parameter
to actions against multiple objects. I haven't seen anything close to this.
E.g., if I wanted to change all the physical files in a library to
MAXMBRS(*NOMAX), I use F17 to filter down to pf-*, then put a 2 on the
first one, press F13 to repeat to the end, and put MAXMBRS(*NOMAX) on the
command line, press ENTER, and, VOILA!
Is this possible in WDSC? If not, why not? Just look at Windows Explorer
for an example of changing an attribute that is common to multiple files
with one dialog. I.e., select multiple files and right-click one of them.
Things that cannot be changed for all of them are grayed out, and if you,
e.g., check on Read-only, all the files get that attribute. OpsNav, eg.g,
makes you enter the change in separate dialogs for each object - YUK! What
does WDSC do? One at a time? Or a group change? Please do the latter in WDSC.
Even something like deleting all members in a file is very easy in PDM:
option 4 on the first one, F13, Enter - DONE! 3 strokes. How is this done
in WDSC?
I'm not saying to stay with PDM. I DO say that, things like this need to be
addressed for me to seriously believe a statement like "But according to
IBM and the tools developers who've developed plug-ins to Big Blue's
Eclipse-based WebSphere Development Studio client (WDSc), PDM and SEU no
longer provide the best access to OS/400. "
Just some thoughts
