Re: IFS command line tools question

This reminds me, I think, of how tedious it is to make changes to spooled files 
in OpsNav - you can select multiple files as you describe, but when you 
right-click and click on Properties (IIRC), you get a prompt for each item 
selected, not a single prompt with common items allowed and not common items 
grayed out. Even Windows Explorer does this in the properties window when 
multiple items are selected.

I wish it were as simple as WRKSPLF, where you can put a 2 on multiple items, 
then put the changes on the command line once, then hit Enter and bah-dah-bing!!

Would be nice to be able to highlight using either shift-click to get a 

range or ctl-click to select a group of individuals. Then do a properties 
on that selection to get size, etc. Or to change the ownership of a 
subset at a time. Or to... 

I got the chance to talk to the IBM developers at COMMON EXO a couples of 
spring conferences ago about iNav, and this very subject. They agreed that 
this would be a good feature. I was talking about changing permissions on 
objects as a group rather than showing them one at a time. At that time I 
could do my security changes faster on the 5250 green screen than through 
iNav. I have not tried recently to see if they took this suggestion to 
heart.
