As an admin, I might use PDM (WRKOBJPDM) once a month. I only have a single partition, so that's different from your environment.

Yes.

There is a subset of WDS that is meant only for system admin types (that use that interface constantly) and it will not edit source types other than CL, (or REXX I think) and I think that gets compatibility updates, but no new features.

As much as Jack would like us to modernize, admin of a system is really a command line deal. PDM helps immensely with that task. For those of us that manage lots of servers dealing with the RDi connections gets really
tedious after a very short while, so we use green screen.

F8 is really a godsend for those of us in those job roles. I can see where it's not all that big a deal for many others.
