Re: Is there any printable version of RDI Screen Designer?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Karl

I like Jon and Susan's presentations - here is a link that might help - 
https://www.tug.ca/tec/Sessions/Handouts/PDF/13A-DesigningDDSScreenswithRDi.pdf

I suggest that you have the Properties view open all the time - as well 
as the Outline. But Properties has tabs for all the stuff you might want 
to do with records or fields, etc.

IBM also has a page on "How to learn RDi" at 
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6120837 - before you go, check it 
out - there are some PDFs. One of these is for Lab 05 of a set of labs 
and has screenshots of what you would do. It does suggest using the 
Screen Designer perspective, which Susan doesn't - but she uses 
something similar that she talks about.

One thing you have available is an editable view of the source - 
especially useful for hidden fields, which you won't see once created, 
of course.

Enjoy!!

*Regards*
