In Remote Systems view, when I do a find string on a member filter, it is
painfully slow. It took minutes for 98 members. In PDM, it takes seconds
for hundreds of members. And I can auto open them for edit, etc. Am I
missing something, there must be a better way...

Thanks, Tim



You have picked the worst-case search. I have found that is quicker to
search the entire source file rather than a handful of members selected by a
member filter. This with a source file with 1000+ members.

Even considering network overhead of a client-server app, it's hard to see
how this searching feature could have been implemented in a way to be any
SLOWER, especially when searching a list of members. I have gone to the
step of downloading all source into an iSeries project just for searching.
