David, In WDSC I've found the "iSeries Table View" to be 'pdm like'. What is pdm but: WRKMBRPDM, WRKLIBPDM, WRKOBJPDM? All of these, and more, are available from the iSeries Table View drop down.

I've been using Code and Designer for the past year and typically leave either one open once I've started it for the day. If I choose the PDM option to edit a member with code it just loads it into the existing program and doesn't start CODE running a second time... That's the behavior that I'm looking for. I know that you can navigate libraries/files/members in WDSC but I find that the reason I want to look/edit a member stems from a green-screen issue. Since I've already got at least one 5250 session open, and given the fact that I can type a heck of a lot faster than I can grab a mouse and click I tend to start with PDM. This has been working great with CODE but since CODE is an old dog at IBM I wanted to give LPEX a chance. The "i" in iSeries does stand for "integrated" so I was hoping that they would have provided for the same integration as with CODE. I did think of the WDSC mailing list as possibly being more appropriate but thought again that it was more of a PDM issue than an issue with WDSC. Flip a coin, I suppose...
