Re: websphere udate for 6.0.0.1 -- WDSCI-L

Darrell

I have found a number of things that are helpful - if you right clickin source, esp. RPGLE, you get an option to show only certain things- it is very cool to see only the BEGSR and ENDSR for subroutinesonly - one can move around relatively quickly with this. Or show onlycomments. Or whatever. The outline becomes more and more my friend -click on a number where something is used - you are there in the editor.

We use TurnOver, and I think that WDSC works best with a decentchange management tool to handle groups of source - I love havingmultiple windows open and easily jumping from one to the other - F6works like most Windows apps, letting you move between edit panels,with a nice list of the members to choose from

A nifty bit is the ability to add new procedures with a wizard - verycool once you are into using them. And if you should have to callJava stuff from RPG - yes, Myrtle, you can do that - there is a nicewizard for getting all that set up right.

There is so much - as in using SEU, which I also still hold in highesteem, you learn a few tricks at a time. Good luck and enjoy!

Dave;

Thanks for your comments

I think I've worked thru the filters, and I also have setup some compile
options that seem to work well.

Also looking into tutorials, when I have the time.

I have used some pc editors for working with java, but not real
extensively.

SEU has always been my "baby", and still loving it.

Darrell,

>From my point of view, there are 2 separate issues to get used to with
using
WDSCi for coding: the editor itself, and RSE for working with the source
members.  I'm just making the transition myself, although for me it's
after
years of using the combination of the CODE editor and PDM.  The editor
transition is easy, since in a lot of ways the WDSCi editor is a superset
of
CODE.  I'm finding the outline view to be a great productivity improver
over
CODE, and well worth the move.  You will be surprised once you get used to

the editor at how much more productive it is over SEU - even things like
color coding that you don't think will help you much now will soon become
addictive when you really begin using the editor, and you'll eventually
find
that SEU will seem clunky and frustrating, especially when you're
analyzing
existing code for changes.  Of course, I used Flex/Edit from '93 to '99
and
CODE from '99 to just a couple of weeks ago, so I'm predisposed to prefer
any PC editor over SEU.

RSE seems to be the difficulty for me.  I'm not yet at the point where I
can
create a filter and open a member nearly as quickly as I can look in a
source file with PDM and key the option for CODE (or SEU) to open it.
Maybe
there are productivity advantages there, but I haven't achieved them yet.
I
suspect that that's the more intimidating part of WDSCi for most PDM
users.
I think it's worth it for the editor, though.

Just my thoughts.
