RE: RE: copy/paste & compare feature

Filters can be a great way to organize access to members over periods of
time. For example, I have a filter that holds all source members (COBOL, CL,
DDS, and even a couple of text files) related to a system that transmits
information from our ERP system to a particular business partner. I use the
filter to keep everything related to that project in one place. Now, when I
need to maintain that system, I just click on the filter and everything is
at hand.

I now have several such filters that hold all source related to a project.
I've started using filter pools to organize these into groups (e.g., project
filters involving data exchanges with business partners, project filters for
internal reports, and so forth). 

I also use iSeries Table view when I need to quickly pull up source members
for which I don't have a filter. It's by no means an either-or proposition.
A good combination of filters and iSeries Table View can be more effective
than using either one alone.

Anyway, that's why I use filters.

Why is everyone messing with slow filters?  The "iSeries Table View" is
consistently significantly faster than filters.  It is similar to PDM but
can span source files.  To copy a member, right-click the member > PDM
Options > 3 - Copy To.

I too, would like the paste.  And I've been using member filters.  That's
sometimes nice.  But when you do a large filter selecting all source
members in the library the sort order baffles the heck out of me.
Especially when I have the same member types in more than one source file.
 Like .rpgle in QRPGLESRC and QPGMSRC.
I might stop using the large all member filters and drop back to all
source file filters.
