Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Aaron,

I'm running WDSC 6.0.1 with the 6.0.1.3 interim fix installed. I use the
customized iSeries Editing perspective downloaded from Softlanding's
website. This customized perspective has the iSeries Command Log set as a
Fast View which I can quickly pop-up by clicking on its icon. At the bottom
of the iSeries Command Log view is a command entry combo box where I can
enter a command or select from one of my previously entered commands. It
even has a button for prompting the command.

Kind regards,

Brian

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,

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

Kind regards,

Brian
