Re: 'IBM says it's time to dich PDM/SEU'?

Thanks Jim.  

I'll give it a try.  I'm an old SEU user and am spoiled by the block
cut/copy/paste ability when using Client Access.  I tried using Code 400 a
few year ago but couldn't deal with the line only or mouse driven PC type
cut & paste.  I'll give it another shot here shortly.

Thanks again...

David,

What version of WDSC are you using?

For V6.0.x.x

Open Window > Preferences.

You will get a Preferences window.  Expand "LPEX Editor" and click on "User
Key Actions"

There you have 2 fields to put information in.  The 1st is the key
combination, the 2nd is what action to take.  You must fill in both key and
action, then press the Set button to place them in the list.  Once you have
all of them in the list, click on the Apply button.

Key Codes, a = alt, s= shift, c= ctrl  The action needs to be spelled
correctly, and use the correct combination of upper and lower case.  In
version 6 of WDSC the action has a drop down list of actions, so you have to
get it right.

Here is what I have, and why.

a-s  --> splitAndShift:

This puts everything from the cursor and right on the next line, and shifts
it to the cursor position.  Without this, the line gets split, and the code
on the next line starts at colum 1, and errors start to pop up.

a-s-left --> blockShiftLeft
a-s-right --> blockShiftRight

This lets you use the alt + L to highlight a line, then shift  the entire
line either right or left.  You can also use alt + R to start a highlight
rectangle, shift + arrow (up, down, left right) to expand the rectangle, and
then alt + shift + (left or right) arrows to shift the highlighted text and
all that is to the right of what is selected. The text to the left of the
rectangle stays put.

a-t --> scrollTop

In SEU I had my session set up so that roll up or down would put the line
that the cursor was on at the top, or bottom of the page.  This lets me put
my cursor on a line, and the alt + T puts that line at the top of the
editor.  Lets me not have to grab the mouse to position the source.

c-w  -->  blockMarkWord

ctrl + W lets me position my cursor on a word and highlight the entire
word.  I then copy - paste, or cut, or ...   Usually when copying a section
of code, and then want to replace one field name with another.  Ctrl + W to
highlight, ctrl + C to copy the new field name, then Ctrl + W to highlight
the name I want to replace, and Ctrl + V to past over that field name.

Prior to iFix 2 (according to Violine from IBM) the parser did not obey the
setting for column sensitive editing.  To do some of the shifting you have
to view the source code as one long field, and not as separate columns.
This setting is in Preferences > Remote Systems > iSeries > LPEX Editor
Parsers.  There is a check box for column sensitive editing, as well as
other settings.  If you are not at iFix 2, you will need the command '
parserProperty.fields 1' at the bottom of the LPEX editor window.  This sets
your WDSC to always use the editor as one field. There is a command to put
the editor back to the defaults.  See the tread in the archives at;

I will be glad to answer any more questions if the above is not clear
enough.

Could you point me in the correct direction to learn more about the
