Sorry. My bad. I assumed you could copy/paste them. I'm really shocked
that you can't. You can copy/paste almost everything on a computer these
days. Even so, I've still never needed to print search results. Maybe
since I'm quite a bit new to the platform than most and I've never gotten
into the habit of printing very much stuff from the system it just doesn't
occur to me. I think that a lot of the printing "needs" are relic habits
of when you didn't have much choice. But with modern tools (which I've
never really coded without) such as outline, seeing 90 source lines at a
time in LPEX, and other Search/Find tools in RSE I've just never had the
"need" to print very much.
I may try to test some merging stuff today with the compare tools to see
how well it works. I'll report any issues such as wiping out source
members and let you guys know what I think.
Thanks

I am on RDP 8.0 and there is no copy and paste functionality. Ain't
working.
And it would be really nice if Rational would add "Copy to clipboard" and
"Print" to that view. Even RPG Next Gen Editor can print the search
results so it can't be too hard to do that. (I never (paper) print the
search results but I like/need to make a PDF copy of the search result.)

Bryce,
The printed output of the list of members found is useful in a number of
ways.
Without the printed output, you can not get a list of members matching
your
search criteria.
This output can then be used to construct a filter in RDp for work on
the
members, or just as a reference to where your search criteria is used.
Using RDp, you can not copy the list of members generated from a search.
Also, when searching a single source file to obtain a list of members
matching
your search, PDM is much faster than RDp.
Technically you can but it's a pain. You have to collapse every one of
your searches (you can do this with keystrokes: select the top one, then
left-arrow, down-arrow, left-arrow, down-arrow, repeat until done).
Then, select the whole list and copy. You'll end up with a list in your
clipboard that looks like this:
AP0001.rpg
AP0002.rpgle
AP1010C.clp
And so on.
NOT a good answer, but it's at least something.
