RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch -- MIDRANGE-L

Wouldn't using the iSeries Command Log in WDSC accomplish the same thing?

I am not completely following you Brian. 

I am assuming you are talking about gaining access to the syntax of a
command that was recently run which I cannot rerun from that pane.  If that
is what you are talking about though it would be a slick feature to add!
Right click on an existing command and be able to run it again.

Aaron,

Kind regards,

Just so everybody knows where I stand, I have been using WDSC since 
the 4.0 days.  I ONLY use SEU if a clients machine just won't work 
with WDSC.

Note that I stated I compiled my programs by doing an F9 and ENTER 
meaning I typed it in on the command line and was not using PDM.

After using WDSC for many years I have gained perspective that doesn't 
have candy coating on it (or at least not nearly as much).  I can 
leverage and justify it in my daily programming.  I know certain 
features that aren't up to par for quick app development, and that 
often times heads me back to the command line.

I would like to know where Trevor was going with his statements 
because it seems he is still in the candy coated phase of thinking 
WDSC should ONLY be used in ALL cases.

  FWIW, Aaron, I saw Joe Pluta do a seminar on WDSC 10 days ago, and I am
  now convinced that WDSC is a better tool than PDM and SEU.

  I'm waiting for my Christmas bonus to go buy a PC with more 
horsepower to
  run WDSC.

    Please humor me so I can update my coding style.  How do you 
develop RPG
    programs using WDSC, Trevor?  If there are better ways to do what I am
    doing
    then I will happily change! Note that "better" in that previous 
sentence
    means time savings because in the end that is what I look for out of
    WDSC.
    There is enough time savings with the good things that it 
outweighs the
    bad
    things.

    Aaron,

    If you are still coding in "edit, compile, run, fail, debug, edit,
    compile,
    run, fail, debug, edit, compile" mode, then it would seem you are 
using
    WDSc
    as you did with PDM - this is not a true Integrated Development
    Environment.

    In that case, you ~would~ expect CTRL+S to save your member to the
    System i
    - not to the PC where you are doing the actual development work.

    Given that, I would have missed the point. WDSc is just a fancier
    version of
    PDM...

    Of course, some of us stick to the "compile, now it works" approach...
    :-)
