RE: Help: WDSc40: SP2: Help, All & RPG; how do I search the help text ?

Thanks James, I new I saw them installing during SP2; yes.

Stupid user feedback:
1) I missed the tabs at the bottom of the window; Components / Classic /
Search.
2) I was trying to use the Search on the top tool bar. ?Over loading? :)
3) Who organizes this stuff? What about:
        High level languages
                C
                COBOL
                Java
                RPG
        Data Definition languages
                DDS
                SQL
        Data Manipulation languages
                SQL
        Control languages
                CL
                REXX
        Tools
                WebFaceing

Thanks, Don.

There is a large body of help that ships with the product. All of it can be
accessed from the Help perspective in the Development Studio Client IDE and
some can also be accessed from the Help menus (or by pressing F1) in tools
that are not part of the IDE.

To get to the Help perspective, first launch the IDE:
Start > Programs > WebSphere Development Studio Client > WebSphere Studio
Site Developer
After the IDE has started, click Help > Help Contents
select Development Studio Client from the drop down menu.

For Development Studio Client, there are three tabs at the bottom of the
perspective: Components/Classic tools/Search.
For information such as RPG/400 language reference, select the Classic
tools tab, expand the CODE icon. There are also several other language
references and programming guides in the same area (e.g. ILE RPG, ILE
COBOL, COBOL/400, C/C++).

To access documentation for newer tools such as the WebFacing tool and
Remote systems explorer, click the Components tab.

For search, click the Search tab. The first time search is used, the help
system will index the information. Since there is quite a bit of
documentation shipped, indexing can take a while. If possible, it's
preferable to install the lastest service pack first as the current setup
is for the help to re-index when search is first used after installing a
service pack. Service packs are available through the update page at:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/ad/wdt400/v4/sp/html/update.html

RPG manuals can be seen in the iSeries InfoCenter under
the Programming link on the left. Once there, look for
RPG, then look for ILE. There's also RPG400 there, for
OPM-style RPG.
