The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Windows Explorer already does exactly what I'm asking for, e.g., n the
Properties dialog for multiply-selected files, the options that CAN be
changed for everything that is selected are enabled, the others are
disabled. This accomplishes what I described for parameters in various
"Work With" screens, like "Work With Spooled Files". And in PDM, if the
parameter does not apply, often you are stopped until you unselect the
offending object of member. The method is a little different, but the end
result is what I want. What I do NOT want is to be forced to enter the same
setting on individual dialogs for multiple items.
I have the same perception as Jon gave, that those who are putting together
these Windows interfaces seem not to have much appreciation of the GOOD
things in PDM. The same thing applies to my perception of OpsNav. For all
these tools give us, we have lost a lot, too, IMO.
BTW, did I mention the FNDSTRPDM command (option 25)? The multiple-member
search in CODE is very limited - can't wildcard for multiple source files,
e.g. I hope something better comes into RSE.

I must be using different GUI's then you because I have never used any GUI
app that lets me select a bunch of items in a list and then run some
"command" where I substitute in an extra parm that I want to apply to each
selection.
