RE: Launch WDSC 5.0 Lpex from PDM

That pop-up window is perfect!  Now if we could get a shortcut to it.  I
very rarely have the Table View open.

Thanks for the tip Mark,
Aaron Bartell

I was going to whip up a plugin that let you open a dialog where you could 
just type in the member info and open it in the editor, but after looking 
around I found that IBM basically already provides the feature in a much 
better way.

They key is to use the new iSeries Table View.  You can open this manually 
if it is not already open by doing Window -> Show View on the menu bar. On 
that view, there is a little selection widget on the top right corner.  It 
brings up a drop-down menu with a Work with option.  There are then 
sub-options for libraries, members and objects.  If you select members, 
you can basically type in anything you want, including wildcards.  The 
more you give it the faster it works.

Now it is a 2-step process since it just shows the results in the table, 
and you then have to double-click to open it, but I think it is better 
than what I would have done because there dialog is very nice and 
remembers everything you have ever typed in it.

Give it a try.

Aaron,

Have you played around with filters that use wildcards to narrow things
down even further.  In our shop, we store nearly all of our source in one
library, in three PF-SRC's (QCLSRC, QILESRC, QDDSSRC).  We use two
character prefixes to keep related programs together.  So if I'm working 
on
the "DX" programs, I create a filter using Work With Members to show me 
all
the DX* members in those three files.  I can keep all my related stuff
organized the way I like it, and it's fast because it's only a few 
members.
Meanwhile, everything is still the same for our PDM/SEU users.

Mike E.

I guess I would want to gain all of the new things in WDSc which CODE
doesn't have(code assist, outline, etc) without having to pay the penalty
of
going to a library that may not be used that often, and hence wouldn't
already have a filter created for it.

I guess the current solution would be to create intuitive filters to save
the most time possible.  To speed things up a little more I created a
filter
for just one of the source physical files (mylib/qrpglesrc).  Now it only
takes about 3 seconds to load (1300 source members) and that is after a
fresh reboot of my PC.

This will work, but if I have 6 - 7 production libraries and 4 
environments
(development, testing, QA, production) in each one of those that means I
will have to create roughly 28 filters.  Granted I don't go into testing
and
QA nearly as much as development and production, but it still takes some
doing.  IMO, it should be just as fast to go into a library with the 
Expand
To option and select Source Files, but that took 2 minutes and 20 seconds.


It appears that it reads through every object in that library, because I
have other libraries with very few objects but the same amount of source
file's that take a fraction of the time to load.  Maybe that is where the
code needs to be corrected - could a different "logical file" be used when
the Expand To option is taken?

Do-able, but just a little annoying.

Aaron,

The way I see it, if you do not want to use RSE and the things provided
with WDSC, then why would you want to use the LPEX editor?  I would think
they would just continue to launch Code/400.  Hopefully, by the time
Code/400 is no longer supplied all of the functionality within WDSC would
be good enough to make them want to use RSE and the like.

To answer your question, I am pretty sure there is no way to trigger WDSC
to open a member from outside of WDSC.

I have a co-worker that has used CODE and is now working into WDSC 5.0. He
has asked me if there is a way to start an Lpex editor tab in the WDSc 5.0
workbench from PDM.  I know this isn't the mindset that WDSc supports, but
it would allow you to get to your members quickly rather than wait for 1-2
minutes for a source file with thousands of source members to load.

I can't see a way to do it, but am wondering if I am missing something.

TIA,
Aaron Bartell
