Re: PDM strange behavior

Rick,

Chuck Pence explained the issue, but in case you missed it....

PDM validates the object you've entered an option next to, even if for
example the action is a user action like 'DM' for Display Messages that
doesn't effect the object.

Strange perhaps, but working as designed...

funny strange eh?

thanks for all the replies - I really wasn't looking for a solution,
just wanted to get your reactions.

a few things I may not have made clear:

there are plenty of objects in these libraries that are not
STG(*FREE)ed. and even if all the objects were saved and freed, the
empty objects would still be there, and should be listed in WRKOBJPDM
- regardless of how you got there.

also, sometimes option 12 works, sometimes it doesn't, on the same
libraries - depending on what I filtered the list with on the
WRKLIBPDM prompt

add to that the fact that it gives the message even when using a pdm
option that doesn't even reference or access the library at all, like
the one I have for edtlibl. no parms to process, but it somehow is
checking the library next to my option before processing the command.

anyway, I just thought it was strange.
